Default 1&1- Hosting...

Ive already reg a second Domain and want to set up a Forum site so I was recommended to vBulletin. Ive looked around this pre-sales forum and found not much on diff hosting.

Also saw some CM threads and not sure where to head with that. I already had someone design a good site and its hosted on 1&1 with joomla, but I did none of the install and pretty much just look after updates.

Any help?

What is your actual question? You don't seem to ask a question...

yep... didnt notice it like that...

Is what I said correct?

Was more or less looking for validation before I make the purchase.

If what I said is not incorrect, then I guess I dont really know where to start :lol:

Q;
What is the best route to get vBulletin started in the 1&1 control pannel.
I will be honnest, im more qualified to install a domain server then set-up a forum.

If i remember correct, 1&1 does limit database size to 100Mb on shared accounts, which will give you problems in the long run.

Questions on how to install vBulletin can be answered once you have purchased a license.

The developer for a site that I already have use 1&1 and set me up, I have a contract with 1&1 and have the domain reg that I want to build the forum for. In the future I will be looking for a faster option, but right now $$ is what counts as I am not looking for the site to build revenue.


I just didnt expect to have to buy vB before I could look over the install to make sure I could install it with my current hosting. Im sure there is some good reasons why the install is not made public, but that has kept me hesitant on the purchase so far.

I used the 1and1.com business package and did not like it. Not only it is hard to deal with their tech support if you need it but the mysql database only allowed 100mb. So I switched to hostgator and no problems. I say ditch 1and1.com and find someone else. Your site will not be allowed to grow large with 1and1. But vB will work on there as I had running on there for a year or so.

1and1 shared hosting plans aren't very good IMHO, however, their customer support is extremely good. Their VPS plans, however, are a much better value compared to other hosts. If you plan on sticking with shared hosting, I'd recommend HostMonster (600GB space, 6TB/month, 100 databases (no size limitation), unlimited subdomains). If you plan on staying with 1and1 I'd recommend upgrading to a VPS or dedicated account. If you do switch to another host, keep 1and1 for the domain package (even if you don't use their hosting packages), as 1and1 has the lowest price on domains I've ever found.
