A few truck people i know are looking to start a WNY truck forum. Now, theyre all lookin to go cheap (free forum creators, free webhosting etc.) But i pointed out that the website isnt gonna get much flow if it looks cheap and cheesy. I was wonderin
How much one would pay for vbulletin
How much does it cost to upgrade each time a new release comes out
Whats a good place to go for webhosting?
And most importantly
How hard is vbulletin to use?
Any help woud be greatly appreciated
$160 for a full license
Or if you are cheap
Free is good too.
I really like vB after running a large local forum with it for over a year and setting up a small national forum with it. I find it pretty easy to use and set up. Plus, since you pay for it, there are people who’s job it is to help you out with the software.
$160 is to buy a license, but you can lease one for a year for $85. If you buy it, you can run the software forever, but after a year you don’t get updates. If you lease it, you only can use the software for a year, then you have to renew or remove the software. The license is good for 1 year and includes all upgrades. After that, it is $30 a year to renew which includes all updates.
Tell the guys to come out, meet up, toss in $10 a piece and you’ll be set for vB. For webhosting…shit, there are a million companies out there. Dreamhost isn’t bad but as of late it’s been pretty slow. I think I have a discount for them somewhere if you’re interested in them.
110mb.com for your hosting needs. and then just use yabb or something else. vb is way overrated
