[OverHere]

Greetings all,

I'm back, you'll all be pleased to learn! Now then a few questions please:

1. Which are the best hosting company#ies for a new XF forum?

2. Who are best placed XF developers here to customise and insert ad-ons etc.?

3. Who are the best XF-specific SEO services providers?

Thank you

In my opinion...

1. I use a vps server by hetzner (cloud)
2. Search it on resources marketplace .
3. I never used seo "services" on my xenforo forums , never!

The content , original content and a good setup of google webmaster are the kings !

Have heard that @ThemeHouse have a good host. I use them for my forum.
Themehouse can help install addons.
You would be better off not using SEO.

I use Linode and have @MattW set everything up for me. Highly recommend 10000000%. Very professional and a nice guy as well.

Find a few RSS feeds that pertain to your environment until you get things rolling..
Under /admin.php?feeds/

Ultimately you just start posting things that pertain to your interests as I have made a forums for YouTube favorites stuff like that.

Good luck!

You don’t need seo.
Try using social media instead.

You would be better off looking at a typical general forum because you don’t know what specific topic you want to talk about.

I do have a specific topic on which the forum is based / and that topic has various sub areas

Make sure that when you have your forum up that you post on it as well.
