India Forums .Info

I'm mildly considering starting my own forum, and was wondering what ideally I should be looking for in a webhost?

Decide on the forum software first, check what programs, databases required. Say for phpbb or Vbulletin, you need php and mysql(or MSSQL) is required. There may be a situation the software use mod_rewrite. You need to confirm this with host.

Now you need to see roughly how much bandwidth is required. For a start up forum 10GB is more than enough. Once the forum grows you can plan and upgrade plans according to bandwidth.
