hacking questions & a general question

- General Question

I as most other people here own a board, now it's a small hobby board with 300 members, but as it is now it's located on a free host and is :( slow :(, sometimes gives me internal errors and just not user-friendly....

I live in europe, and had a look at payed hosting solutions.... but ..damn that's all way to expensive... I can't afford 50? / month for example, it's a hobby for fun, I'm not running a business here.....

Anyway, does anyone here knows a good host that plz isn't to expensive... let's say 20/30? month maximum (and that's already a lot)

Also please make sure it's easy to pay, as I don't have any credit card or anything....

Tnx a lot

Also, there are plenty of hosts out there who could easily host a 300+ members board for 20 Euros or less ;)

looks good, dunno how to pay for it though, but the price looks good, but as with all the hosts it doesn't mention how fast it is, I don't know why, but not one host I've been to mentions it....
At best you get a "runs on fast servers" type of message...

Like that host the 14.90€/month solution, would that be fast enough for let's say 20/30 simultanious users ?

[Xenon]

i now use the 7,60€/month solution, and don't have any problems with speed...

i've heard some others, which say the same, no speedproblems...

[|-Last-Spirit-|]

hmm you have me convinced, I'll take the 14.90 account but how to pay, I live in belgium...... how do you pay ?

[Xenon]

i live in germany, so i pay with bank-transfering...

[|-Last-Spirit-|]

that's impossible for belgium ?

[Xenon]

i don't know

if you can'T find it try to write an email to them...

[|-Last-Spirit-|]

I mailed them and got this dissapointing answer :

Hello,

you can only buy our webpacks if you have a german bank account.

Do you or anyone know a descent provider like this (I mean cmon most of the people here run a board...), price somewhere between 1 and 25€/month and located in europe who preferably allow bank-bank payments ?

I live in Belgium

#1: it's called vB, not vBB
#2: I can't quite think of any European hosts for hosting a vBulletin, I only know American ones..
