Starting up a forum.

[chococrazy]

I'm thinking of starting a forum - I think that it will get a lot of daily users. My concern is the number of online users at a time.

At what point (e.g. number of useres online at a time) would I need to move off shared hosting and get a server?

I will definitely go with shared hosting to begin with - but I would like to know at which point I'd need to buy and set up a server. I wouldn't want any down time, and I'm not particularly savvy (yet) with all this stuff.

Much appreciated! Looking forward to learning lots of stuff here, and hopefully eventually be a contributor once I'm an expert!

I wouldn't advise you to go for this option! Wanna play big? If yes then the shared plan is not for you.
