Starting a vBulletin forum with HostGator

[Dark Lord]

Is there any way to mass email your users but configure VB to only send them in batches of 200 per hour ?

Not that I'm really fussed about mass emails. As a forum user I always turn emails from admin off.

There is no option in vB to do that. Sorry.

what about mods or hacks
isn't there one can make this

I have been on host gator for about a month. Business plan about $13. per month.

I don't have any real traffic yet, but my vbulletin forum runs fine and has a few hundred posts on it so far.

Hostgator is one of the better shared hosts around. They do have limits on maximum number of emails you can send out per hour, but for a medium sized forum it should not be an issue. If you know how to install a PHP/MySQL script on a webserver (ftp/phpmyadmin etc.), you will not have any issue.

Very true.

I have had no problems with host gator so far. I run a fairly large forum (2k members) and the ONLY thing that has been a problem was they accidentally deleted my database, but restored it within a few hours....no complaints

Trying to upload my vB to Host Gator but get error on step 2...

Do I keep Master Database as is or do need to change anything?



// ****** MASTER DATABASE SERVER NAME AND PORT ******
// This is the hostname or IP address and port of the database server.
// If you are unsure of what to put here, leave the default values.
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'localhost';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;

I did not change that part of my config.php. That is exactly how mine is, yes I'm with hostgator.
