I run a MyBB forum and it stats are 3K Threads 13K Posts 5K Members. 7 Plugins running and forums constantly growing
I'm going to change servers should I go for a VPS or a new Shared Hosting site. I'm sick of my current host :/. I do have the budget for both.
So any answers or advice?
You won't need a VPS until you have 100k+ posts and you're getting at least 50 concurrent connections. You'll last on shared hosting for a good few months.
It doesn't matter how many posts you have, it's how many simultaneous views there is.
The Who's online list usually ranges about 50-125 People in 15 Minutes So not that many people.
Shared... I have from 200 to 350 users in last 15 mins and I'm on a shared.
It sometimes isn't about what you need and more about what you want. If you want good access to be able to fix issues yourself and give yourself a few more megs of bandwidth etc. then a VPS is the one to go for
VPS if you know how to maintain it. If you aren't up on security and other bugs and fixes go for shared.
VPS, I have 2 from Kieran. High quality & very much worth it.
If you need a vps and don't know anything about Linux make sure you get a managed one or prepare to do a ton of research.
From the sounds of it you don't need one yet.
Yeah dont need it, will wait for later
