How many times have you heard that from your host? I bet I answer a dozen pre-sales emails a day from prospective hosting customers with this very real frustration. What amazes me is typically in the very same email they want to know why our prices are higher than Hostgator, Bluehost, Godaddy, Hostmonster, etc. etc.

There-in lies the very key to your URLJet experience. We do one thing and we do it very well. We made the strategic decision to focus our resources, expertise, and hardware to do one thing…host vBulletin forums and do it better than anyone…PERIOD.

What makes URLJet the best place to host your vbulletin forum?

• We actually support your vBulletin software 100%. No more “we don’t support third party script” excuses. We install it, upgrade it, install plug-ins, install styles, fix DB issues, and answer your vbulletin related questions. All you do is grow your forum and leave the rest to us.
• Our servers run nothing less than RAID-5 15K RPM Raptor Drives. Your typical host will run 7,200 RPM drives and you’re lucky if there is any RAID at all. In short, this means your data is incredibly safe. Should one drive fail, we just replace it. In addition, your site will just flat run faster with blazing fast drives. Your I/O simply cannot be matched by typical hosting servers.
• Our servers run a minimum of 8 CPU’s with 16GB RAM.
• Our techs tweak each servers’ software to exclusively run vBulletin with over 50 modifications.
• Our shared servers run LiteSpeed which is up to 6x faster than Apache.
• True hourly backup and restore using R1 Soft. This means your entire forum and databases are backed up every single hour. I can’t tell you the number of times a forum owner has called up and deleted large numbers of post or users by accident. With URLJet there is no need to worry, we can restore your forum to any point in time…that my friend is called peace of mind!

As you can see there are many reasons why URLJet should be your vbulletin forum host and price is NOT one of them.

Like many hosting sites we utilize live chat on URLJet. Typically these systems allow you to view and follow a visitors path as they surf through your site. The higher-end systems (which we use) also provide a wealth of information such as where visitors are located, what page they arrived to us from, or what keywords they used in the search engines to arrive at URLJet.

Every day when reading the reports I see dozens of visitors that have arrived searching for “free vbulletin” or “free vBulletin hosting”. I have to laugh because as we all know there is no such animal. Are these people really that stupid? I often wonder what happen to these people. Did they eventually find it? I’m almost 100% certain if they’re looking for free vBulletin they most assuredly aren’t going to spring for our high-end hosting solutions. Which is probably a good thing, there is no telling how many support tickets our guys would get asking for free stuff.
