Our forum is currently hosted on proboards. We have just over 5000 posts in the 2 months and around 20 active members. This number is expected to increase to 10'000 posts a month with 30 active posters. According to proboards we currently have around 100 guests each day, which I honestly do not know how possible.
Most of the members will be accessing the forum from Singapore (southeast asia). I, however, would be accessing the forum from Australia about 3/4 of the time.
We are a lifestyle forum. Most of the talk is about our daily lives, some politics, children, work, school. We do post quite a large number of links to images and videos, just for fun. (To congratulate other members, share a new song, etc.)
What are some good hosting companies for us? And how much bandwidth should we buy?
[I know close to zero about hosing a forum. I have never done this before. The previous forum we were active on had moderators who were not really nice, so many of us moved. We are now thinking of moving on to a private server. Therefore as far as possible, I require a hosting site with really good support, preferably a 24 hour phone support or at least, one that operates within my time zone of GMT+8]
