Hi Everybody Smile

It's been awhile ...

I've been busy building my sites and thanks for asking they are doing well Laughing

It's time now to add a forum on one of them and I find it very difficult to make a right choice.

I would love to go with phpBB (like you) Wink but first I need to know:

1. Are those forums spidered by SE (just double-checking)?

2. Where is the best place for hosting?

I have presently 50.000 - 60.000 visitors per month, so I expect
big community, but you never know of course...

Any advice on this will be highly appreciated

Thank you

Zorana

This one is. I hired a programmer to do a mod_rewrite to make it more search engine friendly. The change in pages indexed was really dramatic. I believe this may not be necessary with the latest version of the software.

Here's a discussion on the topic:

This forum now more search engine friendly?

I don't know about the "best" place, but I'm using pair.com and find it good.

If you do some searches on this forum, you'll find some discussions on running forums.

I think the main questions you need to ask are:

Do I want to spend one, two or three hours a day answering questions?

Who will moderate the forum when I want a break?

Should I use volunteer or paid moderators?

Running a forum probably isn't the most effective use of your time from a business point of view, but it can give you a lot of satisfaction.

With such a great attendance you'll need a dedicated server.

You can host with me for a one time cost of $ 120.00.

6,000 MB, which will be plenty and Unlimited Bandwidth. I've got a monthly pay plan, but you probably won't need it, with the traffic you have.

I've got a PHPbb running, with 650+ members. It takes just over 1000 MB, most for the BB, not the database. So, one the program is installed, you would have plenty of space and unlimited bandwidth will eliminate any shut downs or extra charges.

Naturally, the software is free. And with Fantastico the setup is one click. They recently upgraded versions, so you'll be right up to the minute.

Mine is a members only forum, with a couple of volunteer mods. I spend hardly any time working on it, but the members all have a common vertical interest and have been together so long no real "policing" is required.

Click my link and check out the hosting - you'll be glad you did.
