Knownhost has quite a few critics,
Of course they do. They just don't offer managed hosting for Xenforo. That doesn't mean they don't offer support for server issues.siteground foes not offer xenforo hosting i just found out.
You are confusing "managed hosting" with taking software seriously. They offer managed hosting for WordPress because they will install it, troubleshoot it, and maintain it. There are very few hosts who offer managed hosting for ANY forum software.yes, i see, but i'm looking for a host who does pay attention to XF as a serious forum software
No.any one for godaddy?
No.inmotion?
I use Liquid Web for server hosting. They can help with everything. Worth a look I think. I'm very happy with them.
I wouldn't go with such as SiteGround, I've been very happy since moving to WSWD, start a Conversation and he can run though the prices and set ups for your site's needs:
WSWD
xenforo.com
Here are my thoughts about it:
A brief review and experience of WSWD Hosting
A .testimonial and experience on my experience with WSWD hosting; https://xenforo.com/community/members/wswd.42409/#about http://www.wswd.net/ I first contacted WSWD here via Conversation back in 2014 when I was thinking about moving hosting companies. I was given the information back then...xenforo.com
Why not?I wouldn't go with such as SiteGround
do you ever get issues like seen at https://xenforo.com/community/threa...nt-needs-to-be-re-prepared-recurring.135846/?
and is Liquid Web good at solving such issues? On shared hosting?
Bottom-line, managed hosts are a rip-off but if you want one, LiquidWeb is top-notch (and so is KnownHost).
Oh yeah of course! I never meant to suggest everyone to stop using managed hosting but just wanted to enlighten the fact that unmanaged hosts are "significantly" cheaper. If someone has the time and the technical knowledge to manage the server themselves, its worth it in that case. For e.g. a Hetzner server with 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD and 20TB GBPS Tier 1 bandwidth is only EUR 15.9. A managed server of that spec should set you back at least $150-200 but time is money and even at that price it'll be worth it for many people.Some of us simply don't have the time to put in to manage the host ourselves even if we have the background (I do, or at least I have enough technical background that I could get up to speed fairly quickly). I admin a small, low volume site and it's simply not worth the time and effort to manage the host as well as the Xenforo board. Running the site is my hobby, not my job. So I'm on shared managed hosting with a Canadian outfit called Crocweb. For the rare problems where I needed their support, they have been quite responsive and the annual cost for our package (a fairly light one spec-wise, to be fair) is not unreasonable.

Start a conversation with me. We host several XenForo forums and we specialize in XF.yes, i see, but i'm looking for a host who does pay attention to XF as a serious forum software
is knownhost an EIG brand?Not here. Customer for years for some smaller forums and a few static sites. Not one issue, and help is always there.
