In shared hosting the physical server space is divided and assigned to every single individual but it provides less security where as the physical server space logically divided among virtual servers and each virtual server works as an independent server and is powered with dedicated server features. Dedicated server hosting is not affordable for small business organizations and they need an affordable solution to run their online business. So to fulfill customer’s requirements VPS hosting is developed with the support of different web hosting platform.

In VPS hosting, the hosting provider create partitions on a single server and distribute the partitions in customers. This technology is pretty much beneficial for the customers because they share the same server that includes hardware and connection. Although they get all the benefits that are similar to dedicated hosting which includes private operating system, file system that gives the freedom of accessibility and security. Therefore, VPS hosting can be take into consideration because of advanced performance and privacy that can be achieved at a lower cost in comparison with dedicated servers.

As if we think about control, the customers will be able to access administrative tasks like changing server configuration, software installation, hosting multiple sites on a single account and rebooting the server.  So it is pretty much important for the customers who need better accessibility and security of their servers to choose this type of account. So if you think that you need to from a shared server to dedicated servers without having big difference in rise of cost, the best way is to move to VPS hosting server. Here, the operating system and file system are separate for each customer so you can expect a guaranteed share of the server in terms of CPU, disk input/output and network

VPS hosting is a suitable option and a good choice for webmasters who are already happy with managing a shared server and thinking about upgrading their skills on server management, without being exposed to the risks of running a fully dedicated server. Webmasters can install custom applications or change the modules of the server. They also get guaranteed security for the websites that they manage because every VPS is having its own software to run its hosting and it is allotted with its own portion of resources.

In short, VPS hosting is one of the best solution for customers who want the control and flexibility of dedicated servers hosting at a cost that is pretty much similar to shared hosting where the webmasters get the best of both worlds.

As we all know that PhpBB is an open source software and con be downloaded for free and because of this almost all the webmasters like to use this software to run their online communities and the only thing we need to make sure is that the software works seamlessly with the web hosting service provider. Here are some of the points which can help you to  choose a compatible host for PhpBB.

1) Linux Hosting

Since the software is written in PHP, it’s best that you choose Linux hosting. Windows servers can also run PHP scripts, but some features do not run in a Windows environment (e.g. mod rewrite). Mod rewrite is important for SEO purposes.

2) cPanel Control Panel

Usually Linux servers comes with free cPanel admin control panel so once you are having access to the control panel, you just need to login and install the PhpBB script. Cpanel is also having a useful feature like Fantastico which helps you to install the forum in just couple of min. It is having an easy to use installation wizard which helps you to promote, guide and assist with the entire installation procedure.

3) Hosting Space and Bandwidth

Today, the hosting industry has become pretty much competitive and there are many web hosts who can give unlimited hosting space and bandwidth on shared hosting plans. Normally, if you run static sites on this plan, you will not face any problem but if you want to run a forum, your site may eventually end up hogging too much resources.

The only thing that creates problem with running a forum is that the number of users will keep on improving as per time and because there will be lots of users connecting to the server, the number of requests that are sent to the server will be dramatically increased and sometimes this may slowdown the server. If the same thing happens on lots of times then other users who are sharing the same server with you may start to complain and at the end, your hosting account may get suspended temporarily.

So to avoid your hosting account from getting disrupted, just make sure that you plan for the growth of your site. If you feel like your site is growing rapidly, plan to migrate the site to more stable environment. Instead of hosting the site on a shared hosting plan, go for a VPS Hosting package. As if you go with a VPS plan, you get all dedicated server resources and admin rights. You can continue with shared plans if you are not having more than 2000 members but if there are more than 2000 members, you will have to go for a VPS hosting or Dedicated Servers Hosting.

I agree that VPS Hosting and Dedicated servers cost a lot if compared to shared server hosting so if you are starting a brand new forum, it is a wise decision to setup the forum on shared server for the first 6 months or so. As the time grows and members as well, you will need to switch over the plan to VPS Hosting or Dedicated Servers.
