Recently the MyBB Chit-Chat section has seen a large increase in threads asking for webhost recommendations, to try and consolidate all these threads (which always get the same response) into a single thread I have created this thread.
First, I would like to remind users that if you are looking for a webhost, specialist forums like Web Hosting Talk are usually much better places to ask as the people there have far more experience in this field; however if you prefer to, check out the list here too.
If you would like a webhost added to the list, PM it to Rcpalace (with the subject "webhost") and he will add it along with the name of the user who suggested it. Likewise, if you find any dead links here, let him know and he'll remove them. DO NOT PM any other staff, they will likely kill you.
Finally, the MyBB Group in no way endorses these hosts or implies that they are MyBB compatible. This is simply a list of hosts suggested, and used by, our members.
