How to choose the Forum's virtual hosting provider

Virtual Host

Doing forums is now very popular, so now many service providers have launched a dedicated forum for sale. But many netizens have spent a great deal of money to buy but disappointed, the majority of the problems encountered are: nominal support of 100 people online, but often online only to 20 people are not. What's more, it's a liar. After the remittance, there is no more below.

In view of the above problems, the author provides a few suggestions here, for your reference.

1: According to the service Provider Forum host information debate. Because the forum program consumes a lot of system resources, generally a dual P3 1G memory server can support the forum chat online is about 800 people, a server plus hosting cost of at least 15000 yuan a year, that is, a real 100 people online forum space business Cost is about 2000 yuan, A server with 8 such forums is full. Of course, this is the theoretical data, the actual situation is because it is impossible for each customer can be up to 100 people, and some only thirty or forty people, so space business can put a few more, generally put 15 or so about, so a 100-person forum reasonable price should be 1200-1400 yuan.

2: Request to the online number of customers demo address.

Many customers who buy forum hosts will ask the service provider to provide a probationary period before buying. This is of course the majority of users of self-protection awareness of the performance, but this way for the purchase of the forum host is not very useful. Because for the charge space, speed is guaranteed, it is difficult to distinguish the quality of space in the short term. Really important for buying forum space is the stability and speed of the number of online people, and this is not measured in such a short period of time. So what should we do, in fact, the best and easiest way is to let the service provider give you the largest number of customers online demo address, and then go inside to play a game, so the test can be the most *. remember! If the service provider can not give the 100 customers online demo or can only give his own forum demo rather than customer demo, this is mostly ghosts, At a minimum, the host's performance does not meet the requirements described. Of course, in order to prevent being cheated, and this demo webmaster contact, listen to his opinion of the service provider is a more secure way.

3: Do not cheap, to rent a certain customer base of the space business host.

The cost of the forum has been discussed before, so the price is too low for the forum to maintain a cautious, even when the test performance can, but does not mean that the server put more customers can maintain a good stability and speed, the server suddenly shut down may be, Bodhi that is to take this way to deceive everyone.

4: The service provider is best able to provide mailbox, FTP and other online management functions.

With this feature, customers can easily change their passwords and send and receive letters. This function can also be free from deception. Because the service needs considerable economic and technical strength, crooks cannot.

5: It is particularly important to note that there are a lot of crooks with home PCs to do the server, with ADSL for access. The stability and speed of this kind of space are quite poor, remember not to be greedy for this kind of petty gain.

The misunderstanding of the Forum:

As we all know, engaged in the forum is very tired, need to constantly mobilize friends to pull people can accumulate a certain popularity. The hardships of the author of the Deep experience.
But everyone in the forum often there is a misunderstanding: that is to rent as much as possible a cheap, Even get a free forum space. I disagree with this. Because it takes a lot of energy and time to do a forum, the speed and stability of space are the first. If the quality of space because of the reasons for the loss of the popularity of hard work, this is the most outweigh the gains. And it's too late to wake up and rent a good one, players are already gone Forum, it is impossible to get the support of friends as easily as the first time.
