So basically, I'm using GoDaddy for my website host. My website is being DDoS'ed by guests and was lagging till I moved it to NA from EU. They're still on my website. GoDaddy is a good provider but has issues. I'd recommend it for someone with a big company or something.

Also, as I'm new to it, can anybody tell me; when my domain ends (after a year) and my hosting expires (a month) will I get an email message to re-send the cash?

Share your opinion.

I previously used godaddy, it's alright I guess, but you can get the same from other companies for a cheaper price, I'm using ehost right now, I haven't had any issues at all, and the support is amazing.

Its horrible, and you can get better for much cheaper (PM me for suggestions)
You will get a email saying you need to renew(hosting or domain) as per the necessity.
Here is my review;
1. Slow as fuck, fucking fuck can't install anything
2. Support is good, not fast, but good, they'll help you out, even refund if you're pissed
3. Dont even bother trying to get IPB/VB on it.
4. DDOS protection is at 0
5. DNS editor is really good, propagation is fast.

Pretty much it. I've found better hosts, and better places for domains. So...

-Don't use GoDaddy unless you're super desperate(which you shouldn't be)

1. Blazingfast
2. 000webhost(jk)
3. DigitalOcean
4. Try hosting on your VPS, its really easy and its best because you control everything that is under it(I do this )

If I host on a VPS, can you recommend a good VPS to host TS3, SAMP server and vB forums on it?

If you really love Linux
1. OVH
(nothing else competes very well with this so don't bother)

If you're a Windows fan

1. OVH(dedi servers do have Windows distribution, mind you)
2. AWS
3. ****** Cloud(not so great, but does really well and is not very expensive)
4. Digital Ocean(their support is REALLY good)
5. Azure


But if you want me to be super honest, If you're getting nulled vB(which mostly you are), then stop for a moment and think -
Do you want a software that you will get 0 support for? No.
My BEST suggestion is to use myBB, with a great theme to go with it and trust me, you'll live upto a lot of people's expectations. And if you're looking for professional software, go for IPB(yeah they have nulled too)

It's okay I would say.(GoDaddy). And yes you will get emails saying it's about to expire, and you can re-pay it from there if interested.

Thanks, that's what I needed.
