Try site5.com
Have been with them for 3 years, have never been let down by them, as opposed to the countless I have been let down by in the past.

He's asking for hosting, not a review on his skin. That comment was completely unnecessary and very childish.

It boggles my mind the way some of you people on this website behave.

Tyler, why are you struggling to pay for your own site? You only have about 5-10 members on your site. The one with the Blue Ball as the logo in the center.

I wouldn't use asmallorange either, I left them and there very overrated I thought after using them. And as others have mentioned you ain't gonna get anywere with ?15 a month searching for a dedicated host, if thats all you can afford you might as well forget it. It seems like your site has grown well, but your now at a point were you don't have anything like the funds needed to let it expand onto the server you now require.

If thats the case, maybe you might be as well closing your board to new registrations and removing a few resource hogging mods and features for the time being to try and stay shared host until you can expand.

Explain the situation to your members and if they do not want to see the site go offline they will donate....

As I mentioned above, if I was him seeing as funds are not there. I would close the board to new registrations and maybe even block bots with an .htaccess file for the time being as they will eat bandwidth, as well as remove some resource hogging mods and features. To both save on bandwidth and resources, and then maybe he can stay with a shared host as he is until he has the funds to do something about it.

When he unfairly called a hosting company like asmallorange crap due to his own incompentance.

I call it like I see it, deal with it. This guy obviously doesn't get it that it is not his hosting companies fault that they cant handle a high traffic site on shared servers.

His layout is crap, he has scripts running that only further his problems.

There are very little options for him.

Either get a dedicated server that is meant to handle that traffic and his scripts he insists on running.

Remove the registration hack and all 500 members being displayed, optimize his forum settings, remove the who is online, turn off thread view counts.

There are many things he can do to keep his fourm online if he can not afford.

Someone with as much touted traffic as him needs to figure out how to profit fast or he will be seeing red for a long time

Blue ball in the center? you've lost me..my site is acutally offline, lol..no forum has been setup yet because of time constraint's with current things here at home (cleaning up the house, making it ready to sell), and turning 18 in less than a week, so i've put my site at the bottom of my to-do list, lol.

Brent: Please stay on topic..nobody needs you're nonsense in this thread..Don't have something useful to say? then don't say it.

P.S.: I know I said i was going to bed..well, i couldn't sleep, whoopie for me eh, LOL.

lol go ahead and go to my site and call it crap and not join. I don't give a damn. I manage my site quite well thank you. I have so much more less traffic than you claim to have, I have a dedicated server that costs me 99 dollars a month, and I have a monthly revenue of 400+ dollars a month right now. That's more than you can say right now isn't it?

If you want advice do what I say.

Turn off all the features that are not needed. The useless registration hack for starters.

Can you please give me one good reason for showing 500 names on the forum home of new members? What purpose does that serve?

Turn off automatic threadd view updates, remove whos online, remove whos online from forumdisplay and showtread as well.

What do you want me to say?

Do you want me to kiss your ass and tell you you are doing a great job in my eyes? You aren't. It is crazy to have that hack installed on a server when you are complaining about a host kicking you off due to server resources.

Think what you want. There is not a shared hosting company that is going to provide what you want. So stop wasting your time looking.

I have plenty of useful advice to give, just not what you want to open your mind too. You want a easy cheap way out without changing your site.

Have fun with the search. It will only lead you to many many server changes in your future, as you continue to get kicked off one company after another.

I recommend spending 150 a month for a dedicated server once you figure out how to make money.

Actually, I make $900+ a month at my job away from the net.

So? I am talking about websites here. I don't care what you make away from this website.

I wasn't even talking to you anyway. I was stating that he should be able to make money from his site, if I can manage to pull that much profit from mine, with less than half the traffic
