My webhost has a maximum number of MySQL connections it will allow (25).
Is this enough to run XenForo properly?

We had Hostgator using an almost stock vb3.8 install. We did ok with max # of connections until we reached 80-100 people all trying to re-load a popular thread one day.Ok, thanks. The reason I'm asking is that I've been having a number of problems with my existing site - vB4.0.3 with hostgator, where I'm getting "too many connection error" emails from the address specfied in my config.php, I've had batches of them at exactly 24hr intervals.
Find a better host.
This:Personally I don't believe in shared hosting anymore.
That depends where you're hosted as well; I know many companies that have started offering old-style VPS (As mjp said, they use dedicated cpu, ram, and hd per account) as developer packages, and they're generally cheaper then a VPS, the only failing is you do not have root.Thanks for your point of view on it. What you addressed is just one of the arguments as to why I feel that if someone wants to take their community seriously, they should consider serious-er hosting.
Of course. Which is why you can't make a blanket statement like "shared hosting is dead," or "shared hosting is no good for a forum."That depends where you're hosted as well...
The difference between shared and semi-dedicated is the difference between £50 and £1,000.Personally I don't believe in shared hosting anymore.
