First make sure your Packages folder (found in FTP) and its contents are chmodded to 777. If that doesn't work create the "temp" folder under "Packages" and chmod that to 777.

IPB and you can even intergrate joomla if you wanted to, with it.

Oh and spam prevention on this forum. There are about 7000 spam registrations and its quite annoying.

How about overhauling the forums here? The header mis-matched colors have bugged me for the longest time and many other aspects of the theme. If possible it would be best to integrate the site with forums. In terms of hosting/networking, I would suggest little change here. The network currently is fast and pages load in a zip. With that said, hopefully these speeds will remain consistent in upcoming years with the servers not getting packed to full capacity with many customers. (BIG mistake by my previous host.) Oh..and something I suggested a while ago but I don't believe it was possible then, was integrating the helpdesk to your client area account. But I doubt that's still possible.

http://avatarprime.net uses Cloudflare + Hawkhost Awesome speeds.

Has anyone enabled Cloudflare on their hawkhost site yet? I decided to give it a go and actually found the load times to increase on my forum. I'm wondering if its because HawkHost might block something preventing the service to work correctly. From Cloudflare.com: Seems like an interesting concept though.

Can't seem to get any response or ping from the server. o.0 Is it down?

I spoke too soon.. Getting time outs this time. Now slow page loads. The connection has timed out The server at avatarprime.net is taking too long to respond. Site here is working fine.

Everything appears like its back to normal now.

Was just working fine until now heh. Pages are loading very slowly again. I guess ill file a support ticket. Edit - Now it's working fine again.. lol It's totally random these timeouts. grr.

Within the past few hours there has been a major slowdown on my site. At times pages are taking 30 or more seconds to load and at other times the load is fine. Is this a known issue?

I agree, it looks much better than the default cPanel design.

(Originally posted on Web Hosting Talk.) So I have been using Hawk Host for nearly 6 months ago after finding them on Web Hosting Talk in March. I am nothing but pleased with their service and reliability to this date. But this shouldn't come as a surprise with all the other positive reviews posted about them. Here are a few of the pros & cons for Hawk Host: Pros - Blazing Fast Speed: All pages load in under 2 seconds for me - Amazing Support: Answers in less than 20 minutes usually! - Great Price, currently I'm paying $40 a year for 30gb bandwidth and 3 gigs disk space - Affiliate Program: Great program to earn some cash while getting customers for HH. - Small Company: While others may argue that big hosting companies are better, I personally like the fact that the community is small and staff interaction is more personal. Cons Alright, I have seriously spent the last 10 minutes trying to think up of a few cons for Hawk Host but can't. Conclusion THIS IS AN AMAZING HOST! I would recommend it to anyone. But with all good hosts always have that little fear in the back of your mind that the company could get bought out and go downhill -- I hope this never happens with Hawk Host. EVER! If the current Hawk Host management sticks around this host will continue to grow and grow with all happy customers including me. Site(s) Hosted By HawkHost: http://avatarprime.net

Not sure if this has ever been suggested before or not. But a lot of forum softwares these days like SMF, IPB, and phpBB all support cache systems such as eAccelerator or xCache. Maybe a good idea to install it to shared servers.
