VPS or Shared Hosting for a New Forum?
Hi, I’m about to launch a new discussion forum and need hosting advice. Should I start with shared hosting or go straight to a VPS? How much RAM and bandwidth would a small but growing forum require? Any information on Hostingsource.com or GTHost.com VPS hosting solutions? What vps host is better? Why?
I’d love advice from experienced forum owners.

When I launched my first forum, I started on shared hosting but quickly realized it wasn’t enough once traffic picked up. Switching to a hostpro.com VPS made a huge difference — the server stayed responsive even during active discussions and peak hours. Bandwidth on hostpro.com never became a bottleneck for me, and their network feels stable throughout the day. Support also helped when I had questions about caching and optimizing PHP settings, which made the whole experience smoother.
