[steve]

How easy for you is to transfer and setup a forum that is about 230 MB and 35MB database?

What plan do you suggets?

If i choose the kickstarter server, can i then change plan before the expiration?

[steve]

Also, what is the biggest smf forum that you host? Can you give us a link?

My monthly bandwidth is about 7 G.

Hi steve,

The transfer would not be to bad of your site would not be to bad.

If you are looking at the kickstarter server we normally keep those sites to between 30-20 concurrent connections.

This means that there is no problem?

I don't understand this technical comment. I have about 200 active members the last 24 hours.

There would be no problem transfering your site. sopmetimes it takes a bit longer depending on whou your current provider is.

Concurrent users means. How many user are connected into your site at any given time period. Users do include guest as well as registered members. Lets say at your peak hours of operations how many users are accessing your in 15 minute time frame.

I'm not sure, maybe 50 - 60.

What about the hybercycle? How many connections?

Do you host any big forum in order to compare?

[G.C. Admin]

Hypercycle basically no limits.

Here a site comparable to your connections:
http://www.hogsportstalk.com/forum/index.php

Yes you can. chances are you will be asked to move if your site exceeds the resources we have for that server.

I mean these sites are hosted by you?

Basically i want to setup a test forum (of my real forum) in the kickstarter, to make some tests and if everything is ok to transfer my live forum to the hybercycle.
Can you help me to restore a copy of my live forum in the kickstarter  plan?

[G.C. Admin]

Those sites are our on the Hypercycle server which i own and operate. I do not own those sites they are customers of mine.


Just from a webmasters point of view. And nothing personal. I see it as a waste of time to place a test site on the kickstarter just to transfer it to the hypercycle. You will have less downtime for you site if you transfer to the proper server. Then after you do your test you swap nameservers at your domain register.


As far as testing goes. One needs to remember that all the links in SMF are url based. Meaning you may get into the index page with a temp url. utilizing a IP. But once there the moment you click on a link you will be redirected to your old provider via the URL.

My suggestion is this. Use hypercycle from the very start. Get your fourms live. Then set up a another forum create a database using your live forums data. Hook into the test forum using the new database and use that for testing. This can be achived by just settting up a subdomain like subdomain.yourdomain.com.

This way you always have a test forum to play with.
