The newest version features many new upgrades and provides everything you need for your new forum. Whether you plan to run a paid membership forum or a free forum, the Advanced Electron Forum software can provide all the tools you need.

After you download the AEF software and you’re ready to install it, you need to choose the right hosting for you. Those just starting out without a large membership list may want to begin with a shared hosting package, just to get the ball rolling. However, if you plan to market aggressively, you will need to make sure you watch your hosting closely.A large membership base will cause a slow down if you only use shared hosting because of the constant traffic and use of resources. If this is the case, upgrade to VPS or dedicated hosting to ensure your site doesn’t slow down and you don’t run out of resources.

At ITX Design, we provide three shared hosting packages, three VPS hosting packages and four dedicated hosting packages for you to choose from. All hosting packages come with plenty of tools and 24/7/365 technical support from an experienced staff of hosting experts. Packages include:Shared Hosting

Choose your hosting wisely or you could find yourself spending more time answering complaints from forum members than signing up new members. Make sure you get the right package for your needs and you can discover the full power of using Advanced Electron Forum software with powerful hosting from ITX Design.
