I did that as well , but the problem is that the cheaper ones are also very small/unknown ones usually. I'm hoping someone has good experiences with a cheap(er) ISP.

With our german hattrick online radio, we are using http://www.server4you.net/

They have servers which seem to be big enough for 45 Euro (or 55 if you want Windows OS)

But they also have virtualServers here:http://www.server4you.net/vserver/

Don't know about their performance. I guess, if we pay for an expensive server then we'd definitely need to play pitboss that way (or use a cheaper as I guess the forum doesn't need a fancy server, just enough space and traffic)

I heard people talking well about:
http://www.manitu.de/root-server/produkte.php
(It seems like they only have a German page)
No windows server from them, though.

Straland.com is hosted by Digitalus. I'm very happy with their service!
20GB hosting costs €10.71 per month. (300GB/month data transfer)

I would also like to contribute. Especially with PayPal as I can then donate with my British bank account (where the money comes in).

I do not know any Euro hosting places but I have always been very happy with HostGator It is a shared plan but it is also very inexpensive. I have used them for around 2 years now and have found their online service techs very knowledgeable (not reading off a script) and I have had no issues with servers being down.. ever.

I think their smallest plan is $4.00 a mth USD for a single domain and $7 for unlimited. I have never tried hosting a large amount of info on one but looking at the costs you guys are giving I cannot see it hurting for someone to look into it.

I did a quick "vBulletin hosting service" search in google and have found many results of unlimited storage/bandwith at under 10$/month
http://www.siteground.com/vbulletin-hosting.htm
http://www.tmdhosting.com/vbulletin-hosting.html



There are also a couple where you rent the vBulletin at 35$/month. (http://www.urljet.com/vbulletin-hosting.php)

Of course I don't know anyhing about them and our database will be located "somewhere on the net"

Please don't put no ads or some gaming tag or I won't be able to read and post from work. Otherwise, really cannot tell anything but if you make an account on paypal, I certainly can contribute.

See, that's the kind of requests that's useful.

Propain, apparently hosting is dependent on how much disk space and how much traffic the site needs. Could you give this information?

About the vB licence: I like vB, I think it's worth paying for. I know there are cheaper options like phpbb and wordpress. I know squat about forum software, but I know people I could force to implement it for us. It's worth considering, but as I'm not the guy that will or could to the work I'll leave that up to Propain. Besides money I see no reason to switch forum software.

Another thing that pops up every time I think about money is this. I appreciate how we have a nice bunch of people, but it seems like CDZ has turned into our private Facebook. Let me get this straight: to me, that's worth paying for But besides that, we should still work at getting new people here, and generate some gaming related content to do so. Like (the unfortately AWOL) Markstar wrote, the ladder was something that generated traffic. Perhaps we should reinstate that, and choose some forum software that could make that work.
