What type of web hosting is needed to run an online message board forum?

April 12, 2013 //  by admin

A frequently-asked query:

It will be new so there wont be many users, is a freewebhost sufficient?

What would be average bandwidth needed?


Answer: This is quite a popular question. Free hosting will not be the best hosting for you. Web hosting is one of the most critical thing for your web presence and can mean the life or death to your business.

Before we answer your question, let us review the 7 qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:

  1. has friendly Live Chat from the start,
  2. gives unlimited storage,
  3. offers no limit on bandwidth,
  4. gives unlimited add-on domains,
  5. has friendly Site Builder,
  6. has Fantastico and QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
  7. can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of their best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.

To answer your question, why not try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best cheap cpanel hosting around.

What if you find out that Hostgator sucks after you signed up with them? HG has 45 days, longer-than-industry-average money back guarantee so you have ample time to test them out. They are rated A+ by Better Business Bureau which shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. You also do not have to pay for the first month. You can just try their fully functional hosting service – you pay only $0.01 (you need to use the special coupon code). Do you know any other hosting company that can give you that kind of assurance? Anybody can grab an account from Hostgator for almost FREE.

How to Get an Unlimited Hosting Plan for Only 1 Cent

Click the coupon below try Hostgator cPanel hosting for almost free. If you already know that Hostgator is what you want, you can even save 25% off the normal price with the Hostgator coupon 2016 below.

Who Should Not Try Hostgator

To be honest, no web hosting service is perfect. Drawback of Hostgator includes:

  1. No free domain name – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
  2. You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost

If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just shoot them some questions before you decide.

    The more bandwidth you have, the better.

    If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months’ time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.

    I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.

    Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukenden/

    They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.
    Visit the site to check details.

    Your web hosting MUST support PHP and MYSQL.

    Back not long ago I was confronted with the same question and I came across a great free service that sets the board up for you, you just have to configure your preferences. It’s all done in PHP.
    Try it, you might like it. See the link below

    Do you have your software picked out for setting up the board? Invision has an excellent package.

    Bandwidth depends on traffic.

    I have no interest in or stock in either of the products but ipowerweb has an excellent hosting service with more memory than you will even need and it is about 6 per month.

    There are many softwares available
    Phpbb is the one commonly used in the industry
    + tons of free stuff to go with it
    makes it even better.

    I have a forum too, and it gets variable visitors. its on tax, so some month it gets 1,000 some month 100,000 .
    so what i do is , i found a host that does not care about bandwith and is reliable n cheap. primexhost.com i think, it worked for me, might for you too, check it out.

    Good luck

    dont forget to adsense it.
