Hi guys,i'm looking to host Invision Power Board through a host with a license, can anyone recommend a good host? For high traffic. Thanks.

Are you looking for someone with a license or do you have a genuine license.

http://ifastnet.com/ for EU based crazy cheap shared hosting

https://www.bluehost.com/ NA based affordable hosting, never personally used but theyre okay from general standards

https://www.digitalocean.com/ good if you actually know what you're doing, really you don't need much to know how to work with this because even I can run it

Alternative: https://www.vultr.com/

If you need a shared one then i can strongly recommend webhostface or mightweb. Webhostface got amazing support and crazy discount atm.

Also stay as far away from bluehost as you can. They are part of the EIG company https://www.reviewhell.com/blog/endurance-international-group-eig-hosting/ read about them there or just google on them. EIG is a nightmare.

Go to http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ and seek advise. You will get a much better recommendation there instead of here.

Thanks guys, I'm looking to host my purchased license, reason for me switching to self hosted and it ips's hosting is they do not allow database access. Which is needed for my gamemode as it grabs website tags and gives permission in game according to what they have perms to on the site

Thanks mate! do you get FTP access with these guys? As it's needed to install IPS

https://www.dreamhost.com for a better all rounded solution. Tad bit higher than others, but things such as free ssl on all your sites via let's encrypt + cloudflare integration is better than most hosts.

In reality, it's better to go the self-managed route with a vps. Either digital ocean or vultr as mentioned is good.

Free SSL sounds pretty appealing, thanks mate

Any of the hosts recommended are a good start, from what I'm seeing you're not looking for enterprise hosting so it's okay to go with something a little cheaper / shared hosting.

https://emperorhosting.com Cheap web hosting UK and Dallas locations. support is quick 11am - 11pm EST

use ips official ips hosting, its good

It's brilliant, but i need full access to my Database from them as it ties in with ingame permissions

You should go with what you feel most comfortable with. Most hosts offer a 30 days money back in case you are not happy.

Just get webhostingface. They are a professional company with great 24/7 support both chat / phone and ticket. Right now I think you get the first year for 7 bucks during sale. (Crazy - sounds to good to be true but I have used them and loves it)Google them they got good reviews. Just chat with their support and ask them questions if you got any. They are super friendly.They also allow full access to a your database. They also allow remote access (in case you got add-ons that need a database)

What they like with high traffic? Expecting about 80 users online at once

Edited Ended up going with DreamHost for now, will update you guys in a few days of how I find them :)

Free ssl through let's encrypt comes with almost any host these days same with cloudflare integration. Nothing special for the price.
