Looking for a new host solid with optimizing xF

[Jeff Fuqua]

I currently have a dedicated server in which I run my xF site and a few others small sites for some clients. I am looking for options and want to go with someone who is great for optimizing a server for xF.

I wanted to ask a few of those of you with larger xF sites as to some you may recommend. If that sort of thing is not allowed within the forum, please PM me.

Thanks.

The host we use for ValveTime.net is great but they only have UK servers which may be a bit pointless as I imagine most of your traffic is US based...

They are Nimbus Hosting: http://www.nimbushosting.co.uk/xenforo-hosting.php

we are on xfhost.me and we are very satisfied, so far... Mike's been really helpful too.

I use Webnx.com but they are unmanaged. I have a pretty good system down for optimizing for xenForo I think.

I have to retract this.

 

[Mike Edge]

Thank you for the very kind words guys

I have two recommendations.

One, is the host we use for ValveTime.net but they only have UK servers which may be a bit pointless as I imagine most of your traffic is US based...

They are Nimbus Hosting: http://www.nimbushosting.co.uk/xenforo-hosting.php

The other recommendation is US based and I've heard good things about them.

http://xfhost.me

The guy to speak to is registered here: Mike Edge

I can also definitely vouch for Nimbus Hosting, regardless where your visitors are from, the support and service is outclass.

We're with Nimbus too, rock solid & fast if you're UK...

 

[SchmitzIT]

Another vote of confidence for NimbusHosting from us!

AMD 5600+ for 289 month? LOL, how many levels of resellers are they going though for that high of a price.

Don't you think it's a lot? Could get that specs in 130$ or so. No RAID 1 is kind of risky.

Not really for the memory and an SSD. Backups are made nightly to the backup harddrive and then synced with a local computer. I'm going to be reducing it soon though since I just sold my largest site.
