Best Hosting provider for XenForo?

[MattW]

FYI - apparently they do offer some sort of control panel.

That is simply for managing your droplet (ie re-installing the OS, or creating new droplets)

@MattW - is there someone you could recommend, experienced, in getting me up and running, transfer over and all, and perhaps, a crash course on what i need to do to run and maintain it?

Thanks,

@MattW - do you do this type of work?

All that control panel does is let you create "droplets", resize them, monitor them, etc. It isn't a Cpanel substitute.

I really like DO also, but it probably isn't a good choice if you need somebody to manage processes or users on the server

 

[Slavik]

Yes to which one? What does it consist of running your own server. I visit my current Cpanel to view files once in awhile - thats it, nothing more.

If you want to use WHM/Cpanel/Plesk its pretty much plug and go, if your happy to skip the cpanel part, Centminmod or OLS are great options.

The guide I put up in the RM will help you do it yourself aswell (an OLS install).

OpenLitespeed is coming on CentminMod soon

What do you mean "because SSD"?

 

[Nomy]

All plans are on SSD... you know harddisk that don't spin

VULTR™ combines current-gen Intel hardware and 100% SSD storage with our low latency worldwide network to deploy virtual machines with performance similar to bare-metal deployments at a significantly lower cost.

[Nomy]

Yep. I have a vps with them in NL.

Then your "because SSD" statement makes no sense, because that is exactly what DO offer on all their plans.

 

[Nomy]

My bad. I must have slow server then.

Well at least Vultr has DDoS protection at 3 locations. Does DO?

 

[rdn]

DO is very well established, I don't about vultr

How could you not know about SSD? It's all over their front page, and one of their selling points

 

[Nomy]

I don't know mate, I received $20 worth of credit when I spent $5 (thats like 3 quid?) at DO. I thought it was good.. never bothered to even read the front page that time. lol

I dont work for any webhosting company... its just my opinion... maybe it will help other people decide.
