Does anyone recommend any VPS services that take bitcoin?

Post by MedricCedric »

Also, is it possible to just run Phpbb on a raspberry pi or home server instead of paying for hosting?

Or will it be very slow?

We cannot really recommend a host, but we do recommend that you visit WebHostingTalk.

Running a home server comes with its own set of challenges. It's much easier (and possibly cheaper in some cases) to go with a good hosting provider.

yes it would be slow depending on your internet connection. also, you take the risk of letting people in to your home computers if you do not know how to setup a web server properly.
also, many internet providers do not allow their customers to run web servers using their connections and might shut you down.

basically not really a good idea.

If you have a search (or visit the above site) you’ll find there are many reputable hosts that offer the first twelve months free including domain registration or for very little.

Apparently so yes but I doubt you’ll find many experts here at phpBB. There are a couple of topics on the subject see here and a forum dedicated to Pi usage here. Typing phpbb in the search on that site brings up even more information.
