Hosting options

I know this is like asking what motor oil is 'best' on a motorcycle forum, but there you go.

I'm looking to move away from VPS. I have had my forum on Linode for a looooong time and have no time or inclination to keep the server up to date etc and pay the high cost I am to host there.

I'm looking to move my 19 year old forum to a 'Xenforo' specific hosting service where I don't need to sweat keeping the server updated, PHP version upgrades etc.

Is there a 'list' somewhere or any highly recommended services for a ~150GB or so sized site that has relatively low traffic.

I may turn the site down soon, but am 11 months away from the 20th anniversary of launching it. I wouldn't mind keeping it around till then but paying $100 / month to host it at Linode is a bit bothersome. If it were $20 a month, I'd just leave it up indefinitely so the million posts of content were still 'out there'.

Have you seen they offer their own cloud hosting?

I, too, recommend our Cloud hosting, but, alas, their concern appears to be price and a suitable plan on XenForo Cloud would cost more than they're paying for Linode.

Feel free to Contact us though if you'd like to check us out.

I always recommend Knownhost. Been with them for years and never a problem, and support is fast.

I'm a big fan of hetzner lately for my server hosting clients. Product to cost ratio is excellent. However there's lots of sticky things to cut one's hands on with their backend administration, so i would only recommend it to someone else if they're willing to get very geeky.
