Godaddy Hosting Package for new forum
 

Hello,
I just purchace a leased license and i need to set up hosting with godaddy. My forum is just starting, so I doubt a dedicated server is necessary at the moment. Could someone review the available plans

and make a recomendation?
Thanks for your help.

Instead of suggesting a plan, I will suggest not even considering GoDaddy for vB Forum hosting.

could u explain why Godaddy is not a good option?

Very SLOW.

I started with Go Daddy and just last night, I spent 6 hours transferring my site to Westhost. Go Daddy isn't one of the greatest out there...here are my vices with it:
- I have a small site...about 125 or so members...20 on at any given time...something like that...
- In the last two weeks, it was taking about 5 seconds to for a post to actually post and to traverse through my site. It used to take about 2 secs....
- I call the tech support and they pretty much blame it on vBulletin s/w being to intensive on resources...
- They immediately try to sell the bigger dedicated plan...pshhh... for 20 active users???

At Westhost.com, it is lightning fast...posts take less than a second and that is with over 30 members on... I had problems importing my DB and the technical support was AWESOME! They ended up doing it for me....and that was at 2am.

I would keep my options open when it comes to Go Daddy...

just do a search for GoDaddy and you'll see the million of complaints... stay away from them.

Good enough for me.... Godaddy is out!!... ok so im now looking a the business pro plan at westhost. Here are the specs

Will this work for a new fourm? Should I add anything?

or you could try hostmonster.com

just tossing it into the ring.

I juuuust got the 2nd biz plan (the 2nd to the top of the line) for a VPS....

You get everything you need to get started and enough room/ bandwidth for a moderately sized site.... The tech guys are really helpful too.

IX webhosting, $100 a year for 400 GB space and 2500 GB bandwidth=business plan (I own one for my gaming community, very fast, great customer service.) $150 for Unlimited space and 3000 GB bandwidth.
