Website Was Down

I think carnivora platform shut down their operation and they gave some time to their customer to take the backup and other things... Our problem was different, it was sudden failure of server at which our site are hosted. Since we are using  a cheap hosting company we don't have some very good option of taking backup becasue they charge extra for that.

A good hosting company take backup of everything daily and have 2nd mirror server ready for any emergency.

I take backup manually of everything in between 2-3 months interval but thats not good. Since our forum get lot of content everyday, the backup taken yesterday will miss the today's update. So manual update is not viable solution.

Its better to take some paid service for this.

Now the forum you told is made on xenforo which is a premium forum software and it cost $160 to get software. In this $160 you get software, license and support for 1 year. Then if you need updates and support after 1 year you need to pay some amount again. Since it is premium it has very nice functionality but at the same time most of its good functionality comes as addon which you need to buy separately.

If any how I purchase it, migrating the existing data to other platform is another major headache and I am sure we will miss one or two thing.

Though, In today's world, I agree MyBB is an old game and its not good option anymore, If you have money I suggest to go for premium solution.



There is lot of other premium forum software, but I think all of them are expensive, even more than Xenforo. Reply
