I am interested in changing host providers but I'm not sure which plan to look at here. I read this post
200GB Space? on your beginners forums and it would appear that whats posted may not be what is actually provided. Also when I click on the details tab for the different plans I get nothing in the way of details.
From what I gathered from the other post the site has been recently updated and may not reflect correct info. Which would explain why maybe the details tab don't work. If so I don't mind saying that makes me question changing over to surpass...not very encouraging. But hey....I understand "oops" happen and am not ready to rule you out just yet...I know I would be pissed if I went with what was posted and got something a fraction the size....so I figured I would clear that up first
All the other hosting providers tell me more information than I understand. But some of the basics I am concerned with are as follows...
MySQL database....how many am I allowed and is the size of it tied in with my total disk space or is there a set size limit I must maintain with it....ie one site said it can't be over 100 meg yet others say whatever size it is it just counts toward my allowed disk space.
Email accounts....how many am I allowed and is there a max amount of space each can use?
Uptime....What type of uptime do you have....ie I see some places tooting their horns about 99.xx% uptime....
Our basic needs are simple....we use VBulletin for our forums and our current bandwidth usage requirements have ranged from about 1GB to 5GB a month...we have 3GB of disk space that has proved to be efficient.....Where we ran into trouble with one potential host was MySQL Database size. Our current size is about 74 meg but has been as large as 135 meg (we like to keep old posts )....we don't really want to keep pruning our posts to keep the database smaller than 100meg.
So all that being said....does surpass have a plan I can look at that would meet our needs?
