Hi,
I'm hosting with Lunarpages, and my forum usually gets 30-50 users at a time, 70% of them being guests. I have over 3.5K registered members. Database is about 80MB..
LP reports that my site is getting overloaded and I need to switch to Enterpriise plan. It costs about $40/month - this is not affordable. Are there any cheaper hosts where I can host?
For a large site like yours, their best package is the [URL Removed - AdamR]
4GB of Storage
150GB/month bandwidth
50 MySQL Databases
Free domain name
$9.95 / month
Wow, this sounds familiar. They kicked me out -- said their more expensive plan wouldn't even be adequate (did give a refund for unused months). I have maybe the same number of concurrent users and registered users but a larger database. More active members, fewer guests.
I wish you luck. I ended up going with a more expensive option and a vps.
