Well me and another designer had a fan site for a band going, did very well for its 4-6 month period, even got talked about by MTV...well the other design dipped on me. After me sending mass emails he finally replies telling me he can't help anymore and cancells the hosting and gives me backups of site/forums.

I'm looking for a Windows hosting plan that allows for MySQL or SQL databases, and obviously allows phpbb forums.

Post links to good/trusted one's please, I'll look at links for prices, don't have price range at the moment.

Is godaddy.com any good, I've heard about them but never tried them out and it also offers windows hosting with mySQL databases.

godaddy hosting... is not recommended. Their support is slow and always reply with template, that always blame problem at my side. I been using more than 10 hosting plan now, and GD will be in my ignore list :P

windows hosting, look for ixwebhosting windows plan, startlogic or lunarpages.

Umm... if you're using phpbb forums why do you need Windows hosting? Do you have some other things using ASP / ASP.NET?

Yeah - are you 100% sure you need Windows hosting?

phpbb runs perfectly well on Linux/Unix based servers. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was written on that sort of platform. Plus, go in a Linux hosting direction, and you'll save yourself a lot of money, as your Windows hosting /month goes towards the hosts costly license fees and stuff when they set it up!
Unless there's a specific requirement for Windows, like damien mentioned, I'd consider a switch.

I can't imagine why need windows hosting only.. Can you enlighten us?

My site is made easy for other admin so he can edit news and stuff with a easy to use database which I used asp.net for.

ok, I don't know if I could do this but I will suggest my self which is logic-hosting.net and we are one of the cheap and reliable hosting company other year. We have been around for almost a year and we offer 15day money back refunds if your not satisfied.

I have a better suggestion. Get a linux host and use cms if you want to make it easy for him.

Try looking for a web hosting at www.whpromo.com. You could find the latest promotions offered by various web hosting companies.

Just trying to help you.

Don't use GoDaddy for your hosting...

I have to agree. With a Linux box you would have access to tons of free apps including many free CMS apps.

Wow! You must be using a lot of bandwidth to have a hosting site say "it can't help you anymore". How much bandwidth will your site would be requiring? Maybe we can help you out

If you can use Linux hosting, that would be the way to go. Lots of goodies for it and much easier to me to work with.

webhostingbuzz.com provides phpbb as preinstalled software on their shared plans.

But Webhostingbuzz.com provides only Linux web hosting, not Windows. Am I right?

Nothing personal, but hosting review sites (and review sites in general) are sometimes biased towards companies - whoever is paying the highest affiliate commission mysteriously get their way to the top

If your main thing is phpBB, there are alot more alternatives out there if you don't stick with Windows. There are 70% more Linux providers than Windows providers.

Content managers like Joomla make it easy for you to add content on the fly for your website.
