My first created by www.freewebs.com with simple html file and images on 2003
Now I re-open www.freewebs.com it reditected to www.webs.com (nice domain)
I use shared host with CloudFlare and reseller host at HawkHost for a year, the host very good with IPB 3
My froum have 66,000 members and 85,000 post, I think if 500,000 or 1,000,000 post it will load ok on shared host at HawkHost.
