I want to make a site that will also have a phpbb message board, but I don't know how much space I need for it! Any ideas? Thanks in advance ;)

I have a phpbb message board on my site, I am using 50 megs now. So, the 150 megs from the upgrade account is enough when you startup, then it will depend on how many users you have and how long you keep old posts.

Ok thanks! Is there anyway I can upgrade from the second package with credits?

you need 10 hosting credits to be able to get a standard hosting account. Then you have to get 30 hosting credits to be able to upgrade to the second package.

Tip. I wouldn't get 40 credits, because after you have created a 10 credit hosting account, your credits will be reduced to a little.

I think a 50 mb is really enoug for your phpBB unless you expect 1000 visitors per day, and 500 posts daly...

I agree with finaldesign, 50 megs is enough. So, if you are successful with upgrading your account, you will get space enough for several years forumming.

phpBB works fine with 10mb, all you need is a database that has a fair bit of space, because if you keep all your posts archived and no prune them they will all be stored in your MySQL database, and if you decided to switch webhosts its going to be hell because it takes a while to backup and it takes even longer to run the queries with phpadmin

the only time when you really need more webspace is when you want to start installing skins and mods and stuff like that, thats when you need to start getting more space, but im possative your not going to need more the 50mb if all your running is a forum and not a website
