Starting out

[Red-Devil]

Hi all.

I have decided to bite the bulleten and start a new forum from scratch, Ive seen several hosts sites but i have no idea what I am going to need in terms of server and band width.

My Project is:

I run a shoutcast server and also a direct connect hub.

I want a forum to cater for these, but I dont anticipate a large volume of members.


I was wondering if there is some guidelines available for server to members ratio etc, or min server spec to get me up and running.

Then the fun will begin, as I dont have a clue how to setup, so some serious reading to follow.



Any tips appreciated.

Regards
Red

It depends what you are going to use the forum for, you could probably get away with a shared account.

The minimum specs for vbulletin are:
