anyways, we use Fluid Hosting: FreeBSD and Windows Hosting now and the up-time is great as well as the support is top notch.

Brandon are you still happy with the host? I am leaning between Your hosting company and F5 Hosting and http://www.asmallorange.com/services/vps/

My current host (godaddy) the worst on the planet, keeps trying to sell me a newer server everytime something goes wrong.

BTW whats up with the images Icons smilies?:2smile:

Re: What hosting service do you use?


I have two servers with softlayer , the support is not the best, but the value for what you get is worth it. Love the private network, have two more servers going online this week.

Re: What hosting service do you use?


do you split the sites up ?
like do you use one server for ftp, and one for database ?

I want to learn more about this, I don't need to know now, but hopefully in a year I will

Re: What hosting service do you use?


I have a front end server, and a database server.

Both are dual processor dual core xeons (4 x 2.0GHz per box), both have 4gig of ram, the front end server has one single 250gb sata II hard drive, the database server has four 73GB 15k scsi drives in raid 10.

Its actually really easy to split up vbulletin to two servers, its all done in the config.php file, rather then point to localhost, you point it to the IP of the dedicated server.

I have a really good tech admin who keeps my servers running, but I think thats the basics.

Re: What hosting service do you use?


it`s not really that good to split vBulletin from the config.php, since it`s limited. I would add 2 frontend servers, low-end, just to handle apache load balancing, then 1 server for storage, and 1-2 mysql ones, with load balancing. It`s hard to get it done, but easy for people that know it. That`s how webhostingtalk.com has the forum running(almost, but same principle).

Re: What hosting service do you use?


Its always laggy for me as well, I believe it has something to do with either the server load, or the server location.
