Happy Thanksgiving guys. Yeah, I'm a bit peeved at the service we received today from vBulletin. Not opposed to hosting on our own but not sure what that means in terms of 1. investment in hardware 2. investment in data line 3. technical requirements on back end and 4. servicing requirements on front and back end. At least with vBulletin we have access to a team of IT guys 24/7. Can't say the same if we take this on on our own. One thing I promise you we'll talk it through and work it out. Hope you all had a great day with your families. More to this than just the Interwebz. Growing pains.

I believe biggest thing in a switch to "self hosting" is finding someone with experience in the behind the scenes stuff. I bet someone here knows how of may be willing to teach me? Other then that its still hosted on someone else's server we just have more options in what we can do and don't get automatic updates which seems to cause problems but we can talk more later about it.

I know somebody with a weird spanish accent that would be perfect but we'd never be sure what he was posting was genius or madness. Fine line you know, lol.

Tipical problema with the cloud share instances and the godaddies if the world. At sime point it is better to come down from the clouds to the earth and check reliable options. I am happy to assist. Lets set up a call next week. Andale andale!

Automatic updates are obviously a bad idea, as are any actions taken by your host unless you are Rackspace private-server kind of customer.
Best price shared services (with unlimited this and that) universally suck. At a minimum, you're going to want a well regarded vbulletin host judged by actual users.
You might want to consider URLjet. I have no experience with them, but they seem to have pretty good reviews. http://www.urljet.com/

I seem to have misplaced 11 inches somewhere. Anyone seen it? lol

I also see we lost the whole entire thread about what you do for work.

There is no need to reinvent the black powder in the year 2014. It is a well known fact what works and what doesn't.
So no need to investigate what doesn't need investigation. shared instances in shared infrastructures are affordable but they are not reliable.
Vbulletin is popular but not the more popular nor the more stable yet it can be made pretty reliable doing some planning ahead of time.
The issue with forums is better to plan well ahead because if you are planning to grow and are serious you want to avoid migrations that can be complex
specially if one doesn't want to later impact the threads and users and unlike other web services migrations & upgrades that are a lot easier.

R,
Some pages are loosing the reference nr. so the page nr. buttons or prev. next... do not work.
I suggest open a ticket and asking the administrator to rebuild the indexes to see if that fixes the problem. Lets see what they say.
