    What do you guys recommend for an affordable webhost for bbPress?

    The board I'm working with is fairly high traffic, with about 1100 members at the moment, and using about 150 GB bandwidth at the moment. Server we're on now is choking & we need to move ASAP!

    Looking for inexpensive, yet reliable since it is a non-profit board.

    Especially interested in responses from those who have over 1000 member boards. But, any advice would be appreciated in this area. Looking like we may need affordable dedicated or cloud hosting somewhere. Ideas, anyone?

    Basically look for a good WordPress host, because WordPress uses at least twice the load, sometimes as much as four times as much.

    I posted some general advice here a few years ago that still holds true:

    I would never use cloud-based hosting if you want performance/reliability.
