I need to find a good host for a busy message board but do not want ti hosted in the USA
Can anyone recommend a good place?
Best would be a reseller account that works well with UBBthreads?

If any of you is using a host that is not in USA that give you no trouble please let me know who they are

Thank you

all depends upon where you wish to be hosted - not in the USA leaves a large chunk of the world wink

I think you are having the same problem I had when long ago I was hosted on others servers. I got tired of the corporate crap and all that and went out and bought all the stuff and now I host my self.

Any place that is not in USA and is good and compatible with threads is good
Do you know of any in that big chunk of the world?

He could be hosting content that isn't legal in the USA. A sports betting site, for instance.

Or it could be issues with payment transactions where exchanges are a issue.

Found these from WebHostingTalk:
Netherlands: http://www.funhost.nl
Malaysia: http://www.DataKL.com http://www.shinjiru.com.my

Theres a reviews site for UK hosts at: http://www.hostratings.co.uk/

Keep in mind that where some sites will be based in a country, sometimes their servers will be elsewhere (such as a UK or MY based service with servers in the USA)

We really need to know where the users are - if they are down under little point in the server being in Europe. But then as david said it might be a certain site content for the reason. If that is the case then I am sure there are some off shore hosts with shorting ping times than Europe.

indeed - many UK hosts have servers solely in the USA. We moved our servers to the UK last year, despite it being more expensive than US servers.

If that host works well with UBBthreads... please share which it is.
I need a host that is not in USA... just need to know the people that run it are "familiar" with UBBthreads...

There has to be a few boards hosted in servers not located in USA... just asking for recommendations...
A dedicated server will be fine...

Thank you for the links
I need the actual server to be outside USA and UBBthreads friendly
This may surprise some of you but there are a lot of Webs that are not hosted in USA and very easy to find a host outside USA

But I need it outside USA and ready for UBBthreads with support people that may be able to help if I have a problem... that is why I ask here... maybe someone here is hosting a board outside USA and is happy to recommend the company...

I would share the link, but I do not think it appropriate to plug my own company. Sorry.

Well, that's why I posted the links; UBB.T is simply a PHP/MySQL script, any webhost should be capable of running it, especially on a dedicated server.

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple to know if they're just *based* in the country, or if thats where their servers are, one of those things you really just have to ask the company... Hence why I included the links that I was able to find via Google.

I can recommend www.fuzioned.com

I moved all my stuff over to them during the last 3 months including my ubbthreads forums.
They're UK based (scotland i believe) and their support is some of the best i've ever come across. They appear to work 24-7 (although i'm sure thats not quite true).

I did the leg-work of my ubb move over the Easter weekend and needed support during that time - had rapid responses to my tickets even on the bank holiday sunday and monday smile

Their servers are running CentOS Linux with php5, MySQL 5+

Regards

Wow, I'm glad I'm running the same stuff on a small scale that the big foreign corporations are running. Makes me feel good as I'm located in the USA and I host my own.

2 of my development boxes at home also run the same spec so it makes moving stuff from dev to production a piece of cake smile
If i wasn't in such a remote location i would have a go at self-hosting, but not sure my "damp-piece-of-string" adsl conenction would take the strain crazy

Yeah I do my own hosting and host for others as well. I use to generally get the response that people wished to host with large companies and such for the simple reason of security and ease.

In recent times a few of those large companies went belly up and I have gotten a few of those customers that didn't want to give me a chance try our my services. For the most part they all love the increased speed, better security, and fast response (like with in minutes) of a reported problem.

On the bright side I owe nothing to anyone and have no partners or loans for all my equipment. It's all paid for and work's great. I have the biggest baddest computer in the county right now, lol

Lol I'd love to have the cash to buy some simple equipment for some local dev work; though until then I'll be sharing my htpc with that load tongue

Unfortunately, there usually isn't too much of a request for forums and offshore hosting around these parts; any and all resources I'd be capable of linking to would be from places like Webhosting Talk where users are there to review hosts.

BTW, personally, if I where to host legally questionable items online, I'd choose a morally laxed country such as Sweeden...
http://www.prq.se/

And yes, PRQ is the company infamous for hosting the servers for the Bittorrent Tracker "The Pirate Bay".

It is not questionable. It is just that the laws are different. There is a reason why the US jails the largest percentage of citizens than any other country and the reason is that too many things are illegal in USA that are not in many other countries. The land of the free sends too many people to jail and there are not too many brave to say it is not fair.

try usonyx.com, located in singapore, with branches in japan, taiwan and sydney. run by some savvy chinese and russians. i've used them for a few years now, without any problem whatsoever, and the connection seems consistently fast. my indonesian message board is located there for both "legal" and technical reasons. wink
