Lately, we had tested to install the phpbb forum script at ixwebhosting hosting server. We are using the linux hosting plan from ix web hosting, and testing is taken place in the unlimited pro package. Previously, we had tested setup vbulletin at ixwebhosting, which is running smoothly, and the ixwebhosting vbulletin forum is now a running website.
Now, we are testing ixwebhosting for phpbb forum hosting, will ixwebhosting able to run this script properly? We are here to review it and look for answer. Basically, the setup and installation process is quit manual, we have to download the latest phpbb script, unzip locally before upload to server for setup and installation.
From our testing and observation, vbulletin scripts consume more server processing and resources, phpbb scripts uses less resource. And thus, phpbb script is running smoothly and fast at this ix web hosting plan as well. Testing to browse through the phpbb forum, everything appear to be working fine. Continue.. we test to add new members signup, login, and post into forum. Thing works quit well as expected. Ix web hosting is compatible for phpbb forum hosting!
