go daddy hosting?

[FockerFGAA]

does anyone have any experience with them? i havent necessarily heard nething good or bad about their hosting. i am looking at their virtual dedicated servers. it has a decent price, but i cant see newhere what kind of bandwidth im getting. 500 gb a month is all fine and dandy but if its on a 10mbit setup instead of a 100mbit setup then it wont do me much good. anyways, if anyone has any experience with their hosting id love to hear it.

can't use VBulletin on them

yes you can, you can run vb just fine on godaddy,, but they suck as hosting.. Use anyone else but them, I always cringe when I have to work on a godaddy account.

well its good to get responses. i wasnt really considering them to much, but if people had heard good things i was going to consider them more. im leaning towards either fluidhosting or servint. i know fluid is better but they are a bit more costly to get the same bandwidth. i dont know a whole lot about servint to tell you the truth, but their packages seemed decent.

I wouldn't suggest Go Daddy for hosting, just do a search on vb.com forums for user experiences. If you do choose them, stay away from their Windows servers and the cheapest plans.

I use SiteGround. (http://www.siteground.com/vbulletin-hosting.htm)

They have servers setup specifically for hosting vBulletin. I've had no probs at all and they have a great support ticket system.

The hosting from godaddy realy s*cks, The best for me is still ev1servers

If you're looking for a good web and vBulletin host, I'd recommend Neoservers (http://www.neoservers.com/). I use them myself and I'm very pleased with it all. Genious support.
Running CentOS Linux servers. And, the backup system is awesome. ;D

When considering hosting a forum, Go Daddy is really not a good choice, actually he's right...they pretty much s*ck.

BUT, if you're just looking for alot of storage space for a descent price, Go Daddy's deluxe hosting plan isn't bad. It;s like $14.95/mo for 200GB of space and 2,000GB of bandwidth. I have my forum hosted with SiteGround and I store all my big files for members to download on the Go Daddy server. :up:

I briefly looked at their site/prices. I think you get ALOT more with SiteGround (http://www.siteground.com/vbulletin-hosting.htm). Have a look see, maybe you can save a few dollars. :up:

i didnt realize people didnt like godaddy so much. are they that bad? i have a small board and i have there deluxe plan, and so far so good. i been with them for over 4 years but probably one or two years running vbulletin. the site goes down once in a maybe 4-5 months.

For a small board they might work out ok, but personally I would never recommend running vB on GoDaddy servers. If your board starts to get busy it will probably slow down alot and quicky. Their servers just aren't optimized for all that vBulletin can do. Remember, vB is typically considered for "big boards" or large communities. That doesn't mean they're aren't lots of great smaller ones, just means it was built with large communities in mind. ;)

Do a search for GoDaddy at vbulletin.com and see for yourself what other members are saying.

ok, thanks fellas for your input.

[FockerFGAA]

can i place like siteground host a vbulletin board that will have 300+ users on it at one time very well? id imagine at those prices you dont have a lot of resources allocated to you (such as ram) that would keep the board running quickly.
