Hey guys, I would love some help from the XF community on this one. I own a forum right now that only has around 11k posts (thevirtuallygifted.com) and is run off of XF. I am actually about to buy a forum from someone to merge with my forum (eve-films.com). I am pretty much a noob forum owner so I don't know too much about this and was hoping someone could help me.
Right now, I run off of Hostgator. Will I need to buy a bigger server for the amount of posts/members/etc that I am merging over? (check the website I'm buying in the first paragraph for the numbers)
If so, do you guys have a suggested server that I run off of?
Next, how does the buying process work usually when you buy forums? I am paying a pretty good amount of money over Paypal, but how does he give the site to me? Does he just send me the passwords to his accounts and stuff? I really want to know how this will go down so I don't get scammed.
If anyone could help me, it would be fantastic. Thanks guys!
