[QUOTE="randomling, post: 2018864, member: 8432"] Hello! I run a PHPBB message board with a reasonably stable number of active users. We have our own domain name: [url]www.randomlingshouse.com[/url]. Usually we have great service and hardly any problems with speed or connection, but recently, things have got very bad. The site is slow-moving and the boards seem to be down for a few hours every couple of days. The customer care department are notoriously tight-lipped. This simply is not on. Currently the hosts I'm with are ITMom ([url]www.itmom.com[/url]) who have a very nice MySQL database with a MyAdmin panel accessible from their web site. They charge me $15 a year for the domain name, and $15 a month for 5 gigabytes of bandwidth, which is usually sufficient for our needs. Also, importantly, they let us pay our dues with Paypal, which is good because we are supported entirely by Paypal donations from our generous members. So to cut a long story short, if things don't improve at ITMom very shortly, I'm going to be looking for a new web host. I need for the price to stay reasonably stable, and I need to have access to a MySQL database and the ability to pay through Paypal. Being UK-based myself, I'd also like to move to a UK-based host, but that's not essential. (I'm not too bothered about changing the URL slightly, as we're not really a .com in the first place, and I can email all my members.) They also need to have reliable and fast servers, and preferably a helpful and friendly customer services department, who I can actually get hold of when I have some kind of difficulty. :) So can you recommend any particular hosts? Which do you use and why? How good are they? Thankyou! [/QUOTE]
