a forum hosting site would be very risky at dathorn...
but yes you can do it. -
2 queries? How much other overhead? The database is only one bottleneck.Originally posted by DarrenMake a forum hosting site where there is only 2 queries to the database at once for each forum?
But like Kyle said it's risky. These are a shared server if you going to have any real traffic? Plan on moving up to a dedicated server. You don't need much of a dedicated server to run just one or two sites with lots of traffic. Dathorn runs hundreds (maybe thousands) of sites on just one server so they need top-of-the-line servers."Whatcha mean I shouldn't be rude to my clients?!

if your going to do some kind of forum site, i suggest using this software
its really fast, and will cause LESS of a problem than other popular software out their from what i hear.
however its suggested that if you have huge forums or very popular forums to host them using a VPS or dedicated (even semi dedicated) server solution, as these are shared servers and big forums and bad scripts will cause major problems for the other users on the server.--------
