    I'd never heard of Vanilla before coming here. Holy expensive, Batman! There's nothing about this forum that couldn't be replicated (or done better) with a free installation of phpbb or equivalent. Inmotion hosting's most basic managed dedicated server plan would probably handle this forum fine for just over $100 a month. You're overpaying to a staggering degree for what you're getting.

    I’m no expert and my hobby bored is hosted totally free (and has shitty formatting, but still) but I agree that Vanillers prcing seems v high.

    Is it partially due to the exchange rate?

    The key word is "probably".

    I was told your exact words back in 2013 and I made the switch for one month. It was not anywhere near the quality of Vanilla and the cries of protest from posters was deafening. (Plus I didn't like the format and functionality). The poster that made the suggestion to me felt so embarrassed that he left HH and never returned.

    Do I have issues with Vanilla from time-to-time? Yes. But am I happy overall with what we're getting? Yes, I am. Plus I have reduced and fixed costs now so I have no complaints.
    Do they also host it or do they just manage the forum app. I can't tell if that's part of their service or not

    Looks to me like rhey just help hook into a vps server with php and mysql

    Agreed, vanilla is trash.
