Need a host that knows mysql and how to keep it up
 

I need a cheap(ish) virtual host account with someone who can keep their mysql running.

So far I've been to 3 different hosts, and they have all fallen over and can't get back up. I'm getting tired of this crap.

It's phpbb and I have (so far) had a maximum of about 50 users logged in at any one time.

I need initial shell access to transfer and set up my database (which is about 30-40MB).

I know it's a big ask... It's not every day you get a huge forum like mine with like 50 users logged in simultaneously :Graucho Anyone up to the challenge? :helpme

candid has you covered

lol

richard123, since your message board has a lot of visitors I would recommend dedicated hosting. That should solve the problem.

Any serious replies? I was thinking of blowing maybe up to as much as $15/month on this baby...

webair, here I come! Prepare for mysql being brought to its knees by my 50 users! 4th time lucky :glugglug

Well, I know for a fact that I certainly have no trouble
'Keeping it up..."

But, cant help you with the hosting though

The comments above are correct, you really do need to consider a dedicated server so that 100% of the resources are dedicated to your BB.

Good luck.

Dont go with any crap hosting.

Go with Webair.

Ive been with them for over 2 years. Dedicated.

lol . . . I agree you should be on a dedicated server. As long you're only willing to throw $15 bucks at your site and/or remain cheap ish you will continue to have this problem. Databases and 25+ concurrent users consume enormous server resources and I am not referring to bandwidth alone. Most servers can handle enormous amounts of bandwidth consumption, however when you start eating a servers memory and monopolizing it's CPU in a shared enviroment problems begin and/or you get booted off the server..

We do not crowd our boxes and could easily handle your forum load. However considering the resources you would be consuming it would be like getting a server way too cheap! Not to mention the fact that it would prevent us from adding our target number of customers to any box you are on.

Can't get this for 15 bucks bro, sorry. If you're serious about your business (message board), you need a dedicated box to handle all of the requests and load.

It sounds like you have a nice little message board going on, are you having trouble making enough cash from it to cover the hosting? If so, hook me up on ICQ at 147479144 and I can help you make enough cash to cover the expenses of your server, and then some.

Hope to hear from you soon...

well for $15 i dont think many hosting co. will like to host you at their virtual servers. You'll cause them more trouble than good. Spend few money more and get a dedicated.
