What host do you guys use for big boards?
 

Hey guys,

I wanna know what host you guys use on your big boards. Do you guys still use shared hosting or dedicated? Please reply. Thanks. :D

I imagine dedicated as there is a lot of server load, but some people think that if you have a big board you have to fork out for a dedi server, this is not true. If you find a stable shared hosting provider they will let you host a big board doing this you wouldnt have to worry about RAM/CPU usage etc, but I would contact a shared hosting provider before buying and ask them if you can.

Regarding servers my top would be Softlayer ;).

We used a dedicated server from softlayer. They are very good :).

I use SoftLayer also and have been absolutely thrilled with their service. :up:

Softlayers prices aint bad at all so I would suggest picking up one of those bargain deals and have a nice speedy forum ;).

Thanks for the suggestions guys. :) I will try softlayer.

i am using hetzner, a german hosting company. It is a root-server.

I have 2 servers with Softlayer and 2 with LayeredTech. Both provide great service at a reasonable price.

I have one server from koreru.com, and I happy with them

Good Luck

Softlayer is great, if not amazing. But I still think unmetered collocation comes cheaper. :)
