Can we have the forum as the home page?

At www.dirtbikeworld.net we use ilisys.com.au

They run us on a server cluster that ensures up time and rarely have a problem. DBW has 80 million page views a year so it is a sizeable vbulletin forum.

Yep - I have an account at dotster for $5.95 a month too - but the sql database bandwidth required by this site would require a virtual private server to provide adequate performance and it is $36 per month.

I will switch over to this in the near future - the linux server in my garage is getting pretty old and, in addition, my dsl connection to my home is sometimes the bottleneck.

I imagine that the site requires some bandwidth, but you do get a some significant bandwidth with shared hosting. Shared or VPS at least means that someone else has your back keeping the hardware and OS up to date. I don't think any of us want the cost coming out of your pocket.

Guys, keep that in mind and help support this site!
