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

Thanks for your help.

for the people with no-problem on go-daddy, i see that they have minimal forums, with like 10 online users at a time... that's fair for any host anyway, even the free ones... you can't complain when you don't use the resources...

my own advice is to look at webhosts that already have a lot of vBulletin boards on them...

see my siggy ?!... HostGator is set to receive the biggest vBulletin forums... even the lowest package have the requirements, and when you have any package, you can choose from PHP 4.3x to 5.1x... best for big sites!

and the best with HostGator... they have a support forum... a vBulletin!!!... so they know it works! their 5000+ clients are members of the forum, that's how they deal with direct support!

no, i think that most of the hosts you will find are not providing any help on managing the content of your sites...

but here on vB.org, you can require a Paid Service:

Just to add to everyone's comment, godaddy hosting isnt as much bad and isnt as much good, however with proper knowledge they do actually have a very good structure which allows you to optimize your resources manually, now since thats not as easy as if it exists on a panel, many users would complain.
I run 3 dedicated servers from them, as well as a reseller plan as well as shared hosting plans, all with them ,
I know many complain about them, but i ran many dedicated servers from other datacenters and to be honest, if you are experienced and you know what you need you should have no problem whatsoever.,
Aside from my forum, i have moved 4 forums to shared plans, and left few on my dedicated servers, all are running as much as needed.
Now to elaborate on TRUE problems, that only experienced can bypass ,
1: SMTP relays are limited by default to 250 mails, thats actually awsome for them, because it protects them from those who host just to send spam, for us it takes a procedure ( EVEN ON DEDICATED SERVERS we had limits ), you send them email form on raising limits, why and how its intended to use, they never deny it as long as you show what you have and increase limits, this info is not listed everywhere.
2: MYSQL will be a huge problem for huge databases, not because it cannot process them, but dump an restore can be a pain because max dump would be 500Mbs , and mine for example exceeds that ,so mysql loses connection when restoring or backing up databses.
I learnt that only after i moved my personal forum to a shared one, however the tweak is available, since you have no ssh, i used a custom php dumper, i tweaked it to wait few second before processing next lines.

In short, their servers and stability is great, but they are nothing close to be friendly
ie: you need to write your own htaccess and htpasswd manually if u need one , dump databases and back them up using your own third party plugins, etc etc.
USE godaddy when you know these stuff, if u dont, simply look for a friendly host !

http://ixwebhosting.com <<<<<<Highly recommended!
Tried them for a while :down:

Their 24 hour support guys suggested I ask their admin to move me onto another server because of poor access speed and constant database connect errors. Their admin guys refused to move me saying there was nothing wrong with the present server !?

Members were emailing me to ask if the forum was down because they could not access the site and when they did finally get on, they gave up and left for the day 'cos the site was so slow in loading.

@lebanon

I don't think many are complaining about GoDaddy's dedicated servers, but mostly about their (entry-level) shared plans.

You say everything can be solved, this is however not true:
- their shared Windows server: Stay away it will very likely not run vBulletin
- Their Linux shared servers: Depending on the hosting plan, many standard PHP functions are disabled. vBulletin will not run or it will be limited in it's functionality.
