- Can you optimize my VPS or dedicated server for us?
- Sorry no we are not into the service providing business outside of this website. If you'd like to have professional vBulletin help, I suggest searching a search engine such as Google for "VPS optimisation services".
- Do you alter the reviews or edit them after they've been posted?
- No we do not alter, edit, or remove posts once they've been approved except other wise those proven to be completely false. Once you submit your review, we will not be able to alter it so be sure it's accurately rated. We will not remove a hosting companies reviews if they request us to either.
- Do you offer support for the hosting services?
- No sorry, we do not offer support for any hosting companies here. We merely provide a service for users to come and share their experience with their hosting companies. We do not offer support for any of the hosting companies that are listed here, for support I suggest visiting your hosting companies site.
- Do you offer vBulletin support or services?
- No we do not currently offer any of these services. This site is meant for hosting reviews and user experiences at top vBulletin hosting companies. If you're looking for vBulletin Services, I suggest that you Google for "vBulletin Services".
- Do you verify or confirm the reviews to be accurate?
- While we take every precaution we can to ensure the reviews left are accurate and left by actually customers of those companies, we have no real way of confirming if the reviewer has ever been at the hosting company and we work mostly on the honor system. Since a user would gain nothing by posting a negative review unless they've had a negative experience we have no reason to believe a user would come here with malicious intentions.
- How do I know if the hosting meets my requirements?
- Depending on what you're requirements are, we try to store as much information about the hosting companies in our database. If you're looking for a certain version of PHP or MySQL simply type in the search box the version you need. EX: 'php5'. This will return all known hosts who support PHP5. We store a wide range of information such as location, bandwidth, storage, ram, and processing power.
- I own a hosting company and would like to dispute a claim here, what can I do?
- Thanks for your concern with customers reports over your company. If you feel your company isn't fairly represented by a review left please use the contact form. We'll attempt to contact the reviewer and ask for more information from them. Please note: If the reviewer provides information that they were hosted, and simply weren't satisfied we will not change/remove their review. You can however post a follow up and let everyone know the steps you took to try to make the customer happy however and we encourage you to do so!
- The hosting company only has positive reviews, but I've had a negative one, will you accept it?
- YES! We accept all reviews of hosting companies, both positive and negative. It doesn't matter if the hosting company has 100 positive reviews, and you've had a bad experience we're sure to publish it. Also if a hosting company has 100 negative reviews and you've had a pleasant experience with them, don't be shy to post it as we'll approve it as well!
- What do I need for hosting vBulletin?
- All of the hosts on our site, support vBulletin 3.8 at least. With the new release of vBulletin 4.0 and their 'vBulletin Publishing Suite' it is very important that you find a hosting company that has PHP 5.2 or higher and MySQL 5 at the very minimum. We take every possibly precaution to inform you if a hosting company can support vBulletin 4.0 or not, however you should always double check before making a decision.
- What if I'm unsatisified about the hosting I've chosen?
- I suggest trying to get support via your hosting companies official support methods. After you've exhausted all available options of trying to improve your hosting experience, we suggest coming here and leaving feedback based on it. Hosting companies regularly monitor and check 3rd party sites like this one and do everything they can to make the correct choice when 3rd parties are involved.
- What is overselling, and should I avoid it?
- Overselling is an age old practice to entice novice users to purchase web hosting based on outlandish bandwidth and storage. While this practice maybe undesirable most hosting companies keep it under control by limiting CPU usage per user. By limiting the CPU cycles a user can use, the server speed is usually unaffected, but can lead to a client needing a larger hosting package. When choosing a host, most all of them oversell these days, it's best to read the reviews left by other users on the site to see which hosting company will let you run your site accordingly.
