High volume VB hosting
I run jalopyjournal.com and it features a pretty high volume vbulletin installation. We average about 700 people online at a time, 25,000 registered users, 1.5 million posts, and about 800 gig of bandwidth a month. Currently, I am hosted on two machines...
I'm thinking of possibly making a hosting move and was curious if you guys could suggest a hosting company with a lot of experience with VERY high volume VB sites. Thanks in advance! |
are you self managing your servers or are you paying someone to manage your site ? If you are self managing, you wouldn't necessarily need a company who has experience hosting large vb boards since you are responsible for your servers anyways.
I guess you'd need to be on the lookout for DCs who provide good support and excellent uptime of their network |

This interests me too, Reccomended server co with VB knowledge? Also - how much would it cost to get someone to manage the server side of a VB forum that size? |
For a high volume site like that, you might almost want to look into getting your own dedicated box... Going with a reputable stable host that can supply what you need might be a bit pricey when you can pay just a little more and get a lot more resources.
You would also be able to resell resources you don't use to help with the cost. Look at www.ev1servers.net for a solution. They start out at 69.00 a month with 512mb ram and 80gb HD. This also has 750gb monthly traffic... You are on a 10mb uplink or you can upgrade to a 100mb uplink for another 10.00 per month. I do not work for ev1, theplanet, or am I related to anyone that works for these companies... I've been a customer of theirs and always had great service from them. |
how much you looking to pay???
thanks Martyn |
