Seriously though, you're post's are going way off topic with the bashing. Try to stay on topic, and either give advice for optimization, or recommend a site. By the way, you didnt think we could find someone? Try again. I just got an e-mail back with a quote from one of my old personal webhost's saying he could do it for $29.99 on their semi-dedicated server.

Thug:

I am currently running a dedicated server and I'm only running one website on it, barely using up any of the space/bandwidth.

Would you be interested in moving over and splitting the server costs 50/50? (total cost per month is $114 USD)


You can contact me at n8_115 (at) hotmail.com if you're interested.

Good luck :)

When you come back here in a few months looking for a new web host because you get kicked off this one, I will have this post bookmarked.

Do you even bother reading my posts?

I can not give anymore useful advice than I already have. You need to hit f5 and reread that nice long post I made

Server specs? PHP version? Mysql version? any caching scripts installed like APC?

You do realize the traffic you are taking on correct?

MMMmm the interesting conversations we have here.....Such friendly people..

I try

you want me to show you convo we had, they even said in a email if you have 50active members at one time you need dedicated


actualy if you see our adbrite we are hitting over 4-5000 uniquies per day, my host was talking about cause we have over 50active at any one time

site layout crap and then you go to yours lmao laffable you say your on dedicated your sites alot slower then ours,ye you mayb making sum $$$ and you may think your a god with the language but you was in front of my face my 6ft2 15stone frame would put you on your tiny white boy behind


Ye you run a site on cars i run a site for mainly UK TEENS. ye there profits to be made but google wont accept me for some reason. no1 would donate, and i seem to see your just acting childish all way threw this,say same about me i aitn fussed cause i am a child

hum, ok, i think that Thug is not able to have a host, maybe his way to discuss things with us are a good reason why, and maybe he is right about the activity on his site,...

Thug... if you have that much visitors, you will have to invest on a solid host... don't think you will have low cost hosts for extensive usages... and if you can't afford that, do the same thing as many other forum owners... close the forum and leave the market, you were not ready to handle such activity...

when you plan to build a forum you have to manage activity on it... if you know that you will have hundreds of users and active members, you have to know that you will have to invest for a solid host... even a dedicated server... if you can't afford that, just plan to open a little forum first, no advertisment...

money is the goal on the internet... if you have hundreds of acting members on your forum, you have to handle advertisment, banners from sponsors, paid subscriptions... if you don't, forget that, you will never be able to handle the market...

you may have encountered a real deal with your forum, making it more popular than planned... so you have to face the reality... young or old.. experience is not always easy!

just found a great deal with dedicated server

2.4 Celeron
512MB DDR Ram
60 Gb Western Digital 7200 rpm Hard Drive
2000 Gb of premium bandwidth.
3 Ips included.
Free cPanel or Plesk!

£33 a month

512 mb ram is pretty low for a server.

i can upgrade it
only guna cost extra few dollars to upgrade ram they said

I think if you continue to see the growth that you are, that that celeron processor wont really last you too long. Celerons were never really meant for servers.

Just keep it in mind as you might be running into problems down the road and you'll need to upgrade again.

Yeah but for the price, if it gets him sorted for now. It's better than nothing and might serve his needs for the next 12 months!


Although I'm a little curious as to why you didn't take up the other guys offer about his dedicated server and share the cost with just two of you on it. That would have worked out at $58 (which is about ?30). The same as your willing to pay now, and his dedicated server might have had much better specs.

tru but we have a fellow site comng onto our server n paying half and we guna upgrade alot

Ok, Thug only asked for hosting help, not for all the other bickering that has gone on in this thread...

If it continues this and any other thread containing such deviations will be closed...

Chris

If the figures TylerR gave are accurate you're going to need more than 512M RAM - you will be swapping to disk in no time, and crawl as a result.

That's hardly going to help thug is it - remove the off topic posts, not punish the OP.

lmfao

uh huh whatever you say big shot

Now that made me laugh really hard. There are hundreds if not thousands of ways to make money with a forum on the internet. Stop acting like a badass and start looking for different ways. Google is not the only site that can make you money.

I don't think I am god. I think you were like me when I started my site. Young and ignorant. I made a lot of stupid mistakes and I see you making them too. However all you do is pull the E-Thug comments out and threaten to beat me up with your 6'2" badass self. Grow up.

[b]I know one thing. If you do not find a way to monetize your website you will fail.[/b

Anyway, good luck with that Celeron, it won't take you anywhere fast.

You even said your server resources were being overloaded, yet you think a wimpy Celeron is going to make that better?

Don't listen to anyone in here, and continue to have downtime and slow loading pages.

Nothing is going to help him. He is too stubborn to listen to anyone on here. Let him take that Celeron and then let him take on another site on top of his to help pay for that wimpy celeron and he will be right back here wondering why it takes 10 minutes to load a page.

think your wrong there,cause as i stated i used my 15% of the server space thats all the problem was
you seem to banter on and your saying your the adult, think your gaining a bad name
i neva asked for your judgement just abit of advice on hostings

BamaStang,

You really need to take your personal issues with Thug and leave them out of this message board.

Plus:
Chris just posted that before your last reply.. so that's your goal? To close the thread? Seriously dude, grow up. You're making yourself look like a complete fool.

yep when time comes i will upgrade to 1 gig
this just goin to get us by for a few months well hopefully,i was only using well not even 400ram at any one time, the server specs will be fine for now and got time to upgrade,

I gave him my advice. Like I said, you don't have to like it.

I guess I will just leave and let him burn then. I am not the one looking like a fool here. I am the only one that will say what I feel.

Thug can do whatever the hell he wants. I am done trying to help him.

I hope you enjoy that Celeron for the limited time it serves your site

im so guna love prooving u rong

The flaming thats went on in here is ridiculous.. however a valid point has been raised about that new server... Celerons are... well... a bit rubbish, they aren't good with any sort of heavy load at all, might be worth seeing if you can get the processor upgraded cheap or something...

ye i emailed already about this

I'm so going to love proving you wrong.

Can you atleast try to make it look like english

Okay, this thread has served it's purpose..a dedicated server is what he's getting. Seriously, Brent, that bashing isn't doing you any good other than giving you a bad reputation here. It's not worth posting if you have nothing worthy to contribute to this thread.

can a mod please close this up now?

- Tyler

I also want to chime in about the Celeron. I would never think about buying a server with a Celeron in it, these procs are aimed at lower-end desktops.

Also keep in mind that you should not throw hardware at something that is a software problem. Figure out what you need and get rid of anything you don't, there is no need to stress the server for useless stats and the like. In time you'll need more powerful hardware if your forum grows, but please keep in mind that new hardware is no replacement for proper code!

You'll also want to have a look over at vBulletin.com's forums, they can help you get your box tweaked. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14
