Hey. I'm a newbie, and I really don't know what I'm doing. Ha, anyway, I'm considering buying vBulletin for my up-and-coming website. However, I do not know which server plan I should purchase. I want to use "Pure Energy"; here's the link that shows the different plans: http://purenrg.com/hosting.asp

My vBulletin will have at least 1000 members, and the site itself about 50mb... if any of you could reply and tell me what the best service for my needs are, that would be great!! I'm confused about how much "monthly transfer" I'd need, etc...

Thank you so much!!

IMO you should choose a plan with at least 5 Gb. bandwidth (more recommanded). My board is relatively small (600 members, 25 MB DB) and my site's monthly bandwidth consumption is around 5 Gb altough I disabled all IMG tags, attachments and converted all buttons to text links in my vbulletin.

What I didnt like about Web Host you referred is they are hosting their own pages in ASP.

This can sometimes point: They have expertise in NT hosting more, dont know PHP good, their PHP support is bad etc. I personally dont count on hosts featuring ASP in their own pages when it comes to PHP.. This is not a general rule but a hint I regard while comparing different hosts.. My 2 cents..

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
