I have an existing VBulletin board, that someone else handles, that I'd like to port to a provider who will remotely-host it and handle any software updates, etc. A host that has strong experience with VBulletin. Suggestions?

Hi,

I'm the license holder Dr. Suess is referring to. So I'll ask the same question as he is :), with the following notes:

- approx 1 million posts.
- 5000 to 6000 registered users
- 200 to 300 users online through the day. It's a professional forum, so most traffic is throught the day, less so evenings and weekends.
- I'd guess 30-80 gigs/month of traffic, though that's a rough estimate. That also includes downloads, I don't have it broken out between downloads and the forum. I suspect most of it is forum. This could be brought down by optimizing the site I'm sure.
- currently hosted on a Dell 750 2.8ghz P4 w/ scsi.
