I did something somewhat retarded I guess and got hosting at godaddy. So I'm looking for a decent web host at a decent price. I looked at nearlyfreespeech and when I get more people on the site and more space to fill up then it gets pretty pricey and I'm looking for something like singlehop where the prices are affordable and the space and bandwidth are just as good. But they have to be able to do adult content, if they can't it's no good and I'm not going to give them my money. Simple as that. I'll check and see if singlehop allows adult content.
I'm kind of a noob to the whole hosting thing and I really have no idea of what I need and when I have to move a step up (in hosting terms). I have around 30 something total boards going up, including notes, and a couple kareha boards with images.
I don't really understand how many people can be on all boards at once untilled I have to go dedicated.
I know I am going to have to sooner or later get a dedicated server, that's not really a question as much as a fact. I just want to put my money in the right hands of someone who isn't going to trip on my scripts and how much space I'm taking up. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to take up that much space either. it's all user generated content any how.
So any suggestions would be helpful.
I've never really had a good experience with shared hosting, but nearlyfreespeech never gave me an issue, and people here seemed to recommend Dreamhost a while back. I'm not a fan of Dreamhost, but apparently they aren't too bad for this sorta stuff.
If you have time, maybe you should get a cheap VPS and set it all up yourself. I ended up doing that, and its been great so far. Much cheaper (and surprisingly more reliable) than a lot of the shared hosts I used.
I mean just for the startup portion, a couple months to a year, maybe. Since no one would even know my site existed.
Did anyone check out singlehop? They have pretty well priced clearance servers for like 65$ and I think that's pretty good compared to dreamhost at 99$ starting off for the same thing. I'll call them tomorrow and figure out how they interpret their ToS. I think right off the bat you get 250gig HDD, 10TB of bandwidth a month. I can't alone fill the server up, that'd be cheating. I don't know who'd do that though. But again adult content is a must.
I'm liking singlehop more and more everyday. I hope they allow adult content or I'll just be kinda bummed.
Yeah, you're going to want to go much smaller.
I will but I chatted with [email protected] this Guy and he was pretty cool. He said he knew what 4chan was and he knew what adult content is. He just stated that it should probably be moderated extremely closely. and I agreed. There is nothing in the ToS about adult stuff as far as I read. As long as it's legal in the US or whatever country they're hosting in.
I will start off small but how small should I start for 30+ boards. I know I don't need the cheapo server but when I do it's there ready to gobble up my money.

You should start for one board.
But whatever, good luck to you anyways.
