BTW, if you go for a VPS you'll definatley want to make sure that you're only on a server with a few clients (4-8 mid sized users); a lot of places will just keep shoving people on the same server which is just crazy...

That would be a smaller web hosting company Gizmo. The large cut thought corporations will put 15 to 30 on a single VPS and convince you that their systems are better then everyone elses and they can handle the load.

I have been very happy with Hostway for several years, but I am paying a LOT of money for my dedicated server.

Well, it sounds like paying the $29 monthly may be a good way to go. I sure don't want to get shoved onto a server and channel that is impacted with way too much traffic.

Thanks for all the input. If there are more comments, please write. I am certainly watching for more.

Thanks so much!

I use DreamHost

They are Awesome

I initially chose them because they are a Freedom of Speech Web Hosting Company

They will not suspend any account for any politically incorrect websites, as long as it's legal (ofcourse)

The price is low and they give you Unlimited Databases

I love it

They have their own UBB.Wiki Help Section and the Instructions for me have been great.


I just added their Referral Ad to the bottom of my Forum


$8.95 per month

$15 a month for a Virtual Private Server

You can't go wrong with that!

Thanks ligntningrod. Wish I had seen your recommendation 5 months ago. I pay three times that.

I am also curious... do they charge more if the bandwidth goes too high?

And how about disk space? Since my site is a mountain and hiking site, there are always pictures to be posted, so the gigabytes could climb quickly. I currently don't allow galleries.
