I have recently switched three accounts over to RatHosting and I am quite pleased. The best low cost shared hosting that I have used to date.
How busy are those forums and how many MySQL connections are allowed? I've been getting occasional "Too many connections" errors with my shared hosting even though I'm still beta testing my forum (only 100 members), so I need to find a provider who can cope.I have recently switched three accounts over to RatHosting and I am quite pleased.

Hi there, I can't answer your question regarding how busy my clients forums are.How busy are those forums and how many MySQL connections are allowed? I've been getting occasional "Too many connections" errors with my shared hosting even though I'm still beta testing my forum (only 100 members), so I need to find a provider who can cope.
Thanks!

Their limits are why I went to a VPS after a few months - and I don't have hardly ANY users. I just wanted to use some stuff that required VPS/dedi, and they wanted WAY more than I wanted to pay for my small site. I also was intrigued by setting up a VPS.Good place to start. Cheap and service is decent enough to get your forum off it's feet. Only thing I don't like on HG is all the restrictions once you have a larger site. But if we were as big as them, we would prolly be required to those sort of limits too. Good luck with your new community.
We have 20 connections at the moment and we've reached the limit twice already with only 100 users (all active as they were specially invited). There are nearly 5,000 people on the waiting list so you can understand my concern.But our limits are 25 max concurrent connections. The number 25 may sound low.
But a forum with 500 active members will rarely reach this limit, so you'll be fine.
I'm having good luck with RamNode, but the biggest they offer is a 4 gig memory VPS. Linode gets rave reviews - and their prices have become competitive.We have 20 connections at the moment and we've reached the limit twice already with only 100 users (all active as they were specially invited).

Now looking at VPS - any recommended providers?
