Hello, I'm thinking of starting my vbulletion forum on travelling, I have one site which I'm currently hosting with ********.biz, the site is also about travelling, I've been quite happy with them, but I understand that hosting a site a and a forum are different things.Can I use the same plan, and make my forum as a subdomain of the site or it's better to use a different plan. I'm also interested in seo, is it better to promote a forum when it's on a separate domain or on the subdomain? Thanks in advance.

I think that you won't get any troubles with ********.biz or any other webhosting company. I have hard o lot of good feedbacks about ********.biz. It seems that you are going to make right step.

I have found some good reviews about ********.biz at reviewcenter.com. This company really seems reliable. Try them and than share your experience with us.

You'll find lots of other vbulletin hosting options to choose from using the google.

Personally i recommend:

Dedicated Server Hosting

The Planet (http://www.theplanet.com/)

VPS Hosting

ServInt.com (http://www.servint.net/)

Shared Server Hosting

Hostrocket.com (http://www.hostrocket.com/)

I have hosted vBulletin with all of these companies, and never had any problems..

As far as I understand I won'tget any troubles with Hostrocket.com, ********.biz or any other webhosting company.
And is it important to use dedicated server first time?

One more reliable hosting provider for a vbulletin forum is accuwebhosting.com with live chat and ticket system to support you.

Thanks for your replies, ppl. I Have browsed thru the hosing sites you mentioned here in the thred, and also contacted ********.biz sales rep to inquire about the possibility to run vbulletin on their Callisto plan. He told me they have several sites hosted on these plan, but I'm still not sure.

Give siteground.com a try.

Still what are the basic features for vBulletin hosting apart from disk space and bandwidth?
