Need suggestions, New hosting for forum
Posted: May 15th, 2014, 10:47 am
Dear All,
Due to last 2-day continuous downtime of forum was really bad (It was accessible from all countries except pakistan). We are the only client from pakistan with your hosting provider maiahost and their Data centres block traffic from pakistan due to security reasons. Its time to shift to new hosting company. I have done all the R&D regarding shifting of phpbb forum and other stuff. Kindly suggest some good international hosting company based on your experience and not on internet based reviews as they are not reliable. Some important features we require include:
1 - Technical support 24/7, live chat must be available in our daytime. Currently maiahost do not provide technical help during their off time (Pakistan day time) which is not acceptable.
2- Hosting plan of 3 months to start with. If we go to 12 months hosting and something goes wrong, we are stuck with the payment. The money back guarantee is not reliable.
3- Data backup option, very important. If autobackup then even better. I am thinking about bluehost, justhost, hostgator etc.
And yes the money from the donation bank will be used for new hosting. I Will update it in the donation thread.
Waiting for your suggestions.
