It would be interesting to know who your hosting provider is and how much you're paying for the plan.

Let us know here!
 
KnownHost, I'm on one of their VPS plans, about $60/month all-in, I love their service, best I've been with by a wide margin!
 
I use a Dutch host on a shared webhost, which is good enough for now to host my forum among other websites. Pay about 300USD yearly.

Oh my goodness, that’s very expensive. I’m going to be making a post sometime in the week about starting a community forum and which host to go for. It’s one of my top recommendations.
 
I use Hostico for my Business Shared hosting. I paid like 140 Euro for my hosting till in September 2025?

I have been with Namechap before but any time when I had a problem, they just excuse themself and give me bullsh!t every time, so I moved in September.
Today I just got my new dedicate IPs as I had a problem with email delivery.

Siteground.
Very reliable
Tech support is good, but sometimes hard to get hold of.
I think its a bit on the expensive side, but very reliable.
 
We need to stop reccomending/chossing webhosts based on the cheapest.
Service, Time up, speed and longevity are also important.
 
For me I would go for any webhost that did not have a clause in their 20 page user agrement which said that we can close your fourm for no reason, or that is does not meet our terms! (what ever they are)

I believe there are only one or two webhosts that espouse Free Speech and or conservative principals

It is, unfortunately, a major consideration for a lot of us, particularly as it comes to starting out costs.

I like KnownHost because their service is genuinely good and affordable, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a host.

You are right, they are just as important but you could all have of them and at a cheap price. I’d say that’s a winner, don’t you? I will be sure to recommend one in my next article which not only can be bought at a great price but also offers great support and service.
 
Hetzner. German based, most reliable and as our forum is kind of a heritage of knowledge after 15 years up and running with >130k registered users, we invest in two own servers and pay the price. It`s worth it.

How many MySQL connections do they allow?
 
I use DreamHost.

I don't recommend their shared hosting. It isn't that reliable.

I use their VPS. I have a VPS for web and another for MySQL. I also added CloudFlare. With that combination, everything runs smoothly.

I pay under $200 a month.

I've been with DreamHost for over 15 years.
