Best hosting


Well I've mentioned this before, but proboards is free and they would transfer everything to the new domain for a fee.

They will host some ads and such in their own accord or I might be wrong. I am not into techy. can we keep this url for that proboards site?


renewal rights are higher. ipgae offers things for 1 year but after that it's almost 8 dollars. some forum owners bitch about things like that.

Yes you can keep the URL, and there is only one ad at the top of the forum, it's barely anything.
 

Complete access, and there are things you can pay for to get rid of the ad. Mostly, the ad usually relates to proboards. If you'd like, you can join one of my spare forums (ones that I use to test coding) and join it, I'll make you a full admin, and you can explore it.
 
Well, I am not ready for this melo:

do you have experience as an admin senpai?
I thought you knew only disqus. I don't recommend proboards senpai.I don't like the look. same goes to lefora, prohbb, freeforum and other forum software

Through proboards there is. But if you do choose you want to explore it before doing, let me know, I'll make you admin on one of my test forums, and you can do whatever you want it. Make boards, delete things, make skins, make member groups, etc.

I started on Proboards in 2007. As for the look, you can change the look. For example, here: http://xxexpectopatronum.proboards.com/

That's cool. Then I would totally recommentd this clara.
 
Would you mind giving us more specs? I'd like to know what are the minimal in terms of bandwich, disk space, visits, etc you are after in a plan. I read somewhere AMF is not in the introductory level. Are you after shared, cloud or VPS?

I will have a look around for you.


When I was hosting my place I used a Spanish host provider called Skylium. They are excellent, cheap, professional, reliable and been around for almost a decade but the language barrier might make them out of your options otherwise they'd be a no brainer. ;_;

Butting in real fast as I've used proboards in the past and while they have updated their looks and policies since last time I was using them, I think the core is still the same. Proboards is a self-hosted forum provider, which means that you don't have any access to the database. The database belong to them. The fee Mello mentions could be referring to them charging you to release a copy of the database of your proboard if you are with them and decide to move away.

It is a nice option for self hosting if you don't want to worry about having control through a host cPanel, making backups and stuff. You will depend on the providers to take care of situations for you. For me it'd be a step backwards and it is best to leave as a last resort.

What exactly do you mean by database? As in themes and plugins? Because those are free to view and use.
 

She must be referring to the username, password, topics, posts may be such data

Not in this case. The whole point of self-hosted forums is to make it hassle free. The administrator doesn't have to worry about having any technical knowledge to transfer files to a server or keeping a database in good health, so ProBoards and similar services won't even have the option to access that. All you get (and all you'll need with them) is the in-forum administration panel.

They basically manage all the aspects that most likely would cost money and some technical knowledge to have on your own; in exchange, they put some advertisements so they can make revenue (to pay hosting and employers) in order to be able to continue being free.

No, themes and plugins are separated from the database. Nel is correct. The database is the content of the community itself. Basically one thing is the software, the forum structure and looks, and the other thing saved separately is the populated content: every member profile, every thread and its posts, our avatars, passwords, etc.

Right now, Clara owns the content and she can make backup copies in case something goes wrong. This means that if Clara leaves her current host she will have to install a clean copy of the software, but she can link it to the backup of the database so the forum gets all the member base and posts it had.

So less hassle, but more limited.

Either way, I agree that if Clara is considering it she could have a go in your tests forums.
 
I'm on my phone so going to keep this short.

I have been using blazingfast.io for quite some time now personally i find to be the best 'cheap' option out there.

https://blazingfast.io/web

Rawhost is one of the options i have only used them a couple of times, but generally found them to be reliable.

https://billing.rawhost.net/order.php

1&1 i have only used them once for a project and found them to be reliable in terms of cheap hosting and overall support. My friend is always using them and is overall happy with it.
