      I want to make a forum is shared hosting good for it ? There is no problem with running a forum in shared server, as long as the forum doesn’t exceed the allowed resources. A forum is a website, and no difference from a blog or any other website platform. When your website gets busy with a lot of visitors, using too much RAM, CPU or disk IO, it is time you may start thinking about moving it to a VPS or a dedicated server.

        If it’s a new forum shared hosting is fine. Be ready to upgrade to a VPS if your forum gets popular but however shared hosting could still be fine depending on how resource heavy the forum is and what forum software is powering it.

          No, shared hosting is not good for new forums.
