Question about hosting plan...

[Big Mountain]

Hello guys,

I was just wondering what hosting solution I might get if I plan to start a Social Forum website?
It is brand new website and as you already know there's no members, yet.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it'll be very fast process with the members Sign-up's.
I mean I was told by a friend of mine that I will get easily approx.1000 people for less than 2 months.

I also didn't submit it to the search engines and that's why I thought it'll be good if I start looking for some smart hosting idea before I actually jumped in.
I will be very glad if I have the chance to explore your opinions, ideas and suggestions in the coming days.

Thank you so much!
Best regards.

mm... read the terms and conditions of MakeForum.org - Free Forum Hosting and see if that can work for you.

If not, depending on how many people your forum will get, a small or massive traffic, including both huge space and bandwidth. Have you thought about setting up a server for your project?

I suggest choosing a hosting company that has an upgrade path .eg You could start out on a cheap shared server, then move up to a VPS plan or dedicated server as your site grows over time.

Here are some companies offering managed VPS plans: Web Hosting Diary: Best value VPS Hosting plans

Hey,

When choosing a new host it's always good to read a bunch of reviews and do a lot of research. The main thing is testing their support to make sure they are their when you need them!

Do you have any specific requirements?

cheers
