Hi everyone,

Does anyone run a moderate to high traffic XOOPS site on a shared server? If so, what is your experience with uptime, downtime, page loading time, bandwidth usage, MySQL connection restrictions/errors, etc.

Also, if you are having success with a moderate/high traffic XOOPS site on a shared server, what is the name of the hosting service (and what plan are you using)?

I think this would be very useful information for anyone who is seeking a shared hosting plan that will actually hold up under traffic. It is very difficult to distinguish between a good shared hosting plan and a plan that "seems" to offer a lot, but really cannot support an XOOPS site that has significant traffic.

I realize that semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting is preferable, but many of us don't currently have the budget for that.

Any feedback and advice would be much appreciated.

Dave
