So...I've been using a dedicated server for some years now...it's an okay server for 120$ a month but with the constant drop of income It hurts to let it go so I'm really to cut down to a VPS..which is half the price but I'm only concerned with how bad it will be with my VB4.... Anyone made that type of switch? Advise?
Dedicated server has many features comparison to VPS, but it is good enough for your VB4. You may face some minor issues but I think you can manage that.
I don't see why you should run into trouble if you make the switch to VPS. If the specs you get are good enough your forum should be fine. Dedicated is better than VPS because you know you are the only one using the server resources but with VPS you can run pretty much the same with significantly less money.
What's your Specs on your Dedicated vs the VPS Plan your thinking of getting? Also, what's your overall traffic like?
