This all in one package makes it easy for anybody to start and manage a forum.

This is an open source program, making it easy to receive support, updates and so much more.
This professional grade software needs professional grade hosting to match with the quality of the software. Forums can take up large amounts of hosting resources as they grow and great hosting will make a huge difference. You will need a hosting company providing support for PHP and MySQL, which isn’t uncommon. Most hosting companies offer these types of features, but not all offer great support, high quality performance and all the necessary resources.
The main features you need from a hosting company for a Simple Machines forum include:
Many top hosting companies only offer one package and they tell you the resources (disk space and bandwidth or data transfer) are unlimited. This may be true, but it’s usually a shared hosting plan. Shared hosting isn’t the most secure and won’t provide the necessary resources once your forum grows to a certain level.
After you reach a specific daily visitor average, you need to upgrade to VPs or dedicated server hosting. When this happens, you won’t be able to upgrade without switching to a new hosting company, if you choose a host with only one package. You need a company offering shared, VPS and dedicated hosting. This will allow you to grow your forum as slow or fast as you want, without jumping from a $5 a month package to a $500 a month package in just a few short days.
Our team of hosting experts provides the best hosting in the industry simply because we provide better support and overall performance than any other company. Our security is top notch and we offer shared, VPS and dedicated package perfect for your needs and your budget.
Support is one of the most important parts of any hosting company. Without great support, you may experience slower load times, downtime and you may struggle to get the right answers when you have questions about your account. At ITX Design, we pride ourselves on providing the best support and customer service in the industry. Our hosting professionals are ready to help you any time, day or night, 365 days a year.
Performance matters when you run a Simple Machines forum. If your forum loads slowly, potential members may not join and members may not stay active. It’s hard to post in a forum when the pages load slowly or it seems to take forever for your post to become live. You need hosting capable of keeping up with the activity.
We provide the best servers in the industry with experienced industry professional monitoring server activity around the clock. Our 99.999% uptime average and our attention to detail ensure you won’t experience slow load times or downtime.
If you’re currently using a hosting company for your Simple Machines forum and you’re unhappy, switch to ITX Design and discover the difference you’ve been seeking.

Our team is comprised of hosting professionals with decades of experience and they make sure you get the most out of any hosting package you choose.
