Hi, I don’t have a big budget for hosting right now.
Is there any forum software that works well with low RAM and limited disk space?
I’m just starting out and expect slow growth at first. Is GTHost.com VPS hosting reliable?
What specs should I look for?

VPS accounts from justvps.pro (https://justvps.pro/) and legionbox.com (https://legionbox.com/virtual-servers/) are worth your attention due to their unmatched services.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with these companies. Their combination of reliability, affordability, and excellent customer service makes them my go-to choice for hosting, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of hosting services.

A common approach is to use lightweight forum software like MyBB or PunBB, which are known to be efficient with resources. For specifications, aim for at least 1GB RAM to comfortably run your web server, database, and forum software, especially if you anticipate future growth. Disk space isn't usually a major concern unless you expect many user attachments, so 10-20GB is often sufficient.

Needed full control for a custom stack, and VPS provides exactly that. Root access with no restrictions makes it easy to configure any environment. Combined with NVMe storage, the system performs well even with intensive tasks. On hostpro.com support is available 24/7. That helps in real situations.

Look into the offered maintenance plan; how often they scan for malware/viruses, how often the software is updated, how often the plugins are patched, how often backups are run, and others. GTHost.com vps hosting (https://gthost.com/vps) packages come with great value, offering premium features at competitive prices. Their security features, including malware scanning and firewalls, keep my site safe.

Platforms such as hostpro.com offer VPS (https://hostpro.com/linux-vps) deployments across US and EU locations (Tampa, Amsterdam, Warsaw), which helps distribute workloads closer to users. Automated daily backups stored remotely ensure data safety, while round-the-clock support can assist with restores and critical operations.
