Some friends and I are in the process of starting up an online magazine and forum. Originally, this will comprise of a WordPress based website and a forum, probably using phpBB3, but it will hopefully evolve into a "full fat" CSS site sooner rather than later.
I'm not sure how much web-space is required for this sort of thing, particularly for running a forum on which pictures and, possibly, Youtube videos will be embedded, so if anyone could advise me on this it would be really appreciated.
The two hosts that look good are Vidahost, which, from the sounds of it, has some great features (including support for phpBB3 and Wordpress which could come in handy), and Surpass Hosting, which appears to have fewer features but considerably more space for the same price. Obviously we need support for SQL and PHP at the very least, and anything else is a bonus.
I've managed to upload and install Wordpress and phpBB3 in a "dry run" on 000WebHost, so I'm pretty sure that I could manage it without needing it to be offered by the web-host, although any support for any malfunctions that the host would offer would be nice!
Anyway, with something like this is it best to look for hosts with great features, or with a good amount of space? Both is obviously ideal, but we can't really afford more than £6 a month; we don't know how this will go, so are trying to keep costs to a minimum! If anyone can suggest a host that would be great
