    Hosting is as good as only it fulfill your requirement, Even Medium large communities aren't supported by these shared hosters...whether its GoDaddy of Bluehost

        You should be aware Tim Dunton has left Globalgold and many users have now switched to his new company, Nimbus Hosting.

          Is there a VB forum what suggests referrals?

          (We tried one last year that claimed they were VB specialists and it turned into a disaster because in the end they were using Godaddy and hired Chinese techs).

            I used to offer specialized forum hosting, but I didn't advertise heavily (and I didn't feel right advertising here). I've sinced moved to a vps with ASO, despite some bumps on the road, they've been good to me so far.

            You should really look for a good webhost period, not just one that specializes in vBulletin.

                godaddy can run a vb forum if you already have hosting and want to check it out
                but I would find a better host asap.

                try searching at webhostingtalk.com for host

                cheers

                  vB5 is unequivocally the best forum software, but not yet...

                    Thanks,

                    Only 1 person has answered your question, david copeland, the others have been speculation and " I've heard" !!!....well I do use godaddy and have never had a single problem, zero downtime and fast response to a few problems on my part when setting up the site, everything works fine unlike my other site which has constant problems with a different server. People should not comment via hearsay but stick to facts, it starts wars.

                      As someone who has to deal with using godaddy tons, due to customers using it, I can say a large majority of them are not happy/please with the service they get. They are also often frustrated at how things work with godaddy. Based on my own prefrences, I would not host, or recomend anyone host at godaddy.

                            I didn't speculate anything, I've worked on several sites (not just forums) that used godaddy hosting and it's always been a major PITA.
                            As I said, if the OP already paid for hosting, go ahead and check it out.. It not, find a real HOST asap
                            Godaddy is good for domains but I'll never suggest someone using them as a host.

                              Oh, right, I have also worked on others sites based on godaddy hosting, and the issues were always resolved by moving elsewhere.

                                I am using a GoDaddy shared server...

                                I have run into instances of extremely high server loads. My shared server is suppose to evenly distribute the load, not sure about that but I've been using them for a few years. Problems are always resolved quickly to my satisfaction but to be honest I'm not a large operation. Almost 500 members and usually no more than a handful of members online at time. They have been really good to me but I can see that as I grow I will need to change to a deticated server, possibly another host.

                                My site is a 2nd Amendment community. (Gun talk) If you want to see how it loads, http://americansheepdog.com
