    Serious...MySQL Support Question? I'd like as many replies as possible...

    The hosting company i'm using doesn't allow the max connections of their server to be increased. So the errors persist on my board, which makes usage virtually impossible & i can have a maximum of 3simultaneous posters on my board.

    Most of the people that have come to my site have been impressed with the assortment of features i've displayed, since they're so used to InfoPop Boards. But with the errors i'm having, i'm almost forced to go get an InfoPop Board.

    I'm curious, what do most vBulletin customers use to support their boards?
    Do they have their own servers?
    Do certain companies specialize in just hosting MySQL?
    Or is there any other way i can keep my vBulletin board?

    And, if all else fails, is there like a 30day money back gaurantee with vBulletin?

    Responding ASAP would be helpful.

    Thanx...

    3 connections?

    Look for another host would be my suggestions. There are plenty of VB forums running on virtual servers out there that can handle moderate traffic, which means much more than 3 connections!

      well finding the right host is a pain in the back side if you ask me..

      i moved from free hosts such as tripod, webjump to paid hosts like cihost (bad bad company) and settled on interland and simplenet for 2 virtual sites and a dedicated server at rackspace.com

      i always do keep an eye on other hosts and my friend uses [url]http://www.aplushosting.com[/url] for over 1 yr now and it's seems to be very fast and never down.

      there highest package has php4/mysql and subdomains for your virtual account...

        3 connections? Jeez! Get your money back on your hosting! :)

          I use communitech for a medium0szed board, and CT has been known to be unkind to people who overburden their systems. However, I can have 6-7 people on the boards at once and no problems.

          What host are you using?

                CT is an ok choice, if you don't go over 20 people at the same time, for a long duration of time. Still though, you can always expect getting shut down for resources [i]abuse[/i], so expect it, but I guess you get what you pay for at $30/month

                Anyway, I'm on a dedicated server myself, pay $300 , and you should be able to afford that, if you're pushing that kind of traffic. -> [url]http://www.catalog.com[/url] is my hosting company, but there are plenty of good hosts out there, you just need to do some research.

                  The SitePoint Network is hosted on a dedicated server at Rackspace. I am unable to disclose the cost of hosting since I only help administrate the Forums and other Community Aspects of the site.

                  During peak periods we usually have between 35 and 50 concurrent users on our boards. We currently have 2500+ members of which approximately 500 are active. There are over 5300 threads and almost 35,000 posts. We have been using vBulletin to power our forums since 8/24/2000 and experienced an increase in performance of approximately 30-40% (most like attributed to Zend Optimizer and PHP4) over UBB.

                  Since the conversion more posts on average are being made. Currently approximately 100 new members are registering every week. There are currently no ads in the forums but the rest of the Network is advertising supported.
