JackWallington Hopefully I'm one of the two @luceos mentioned. ?

I don't know what Flarum have prepared but I will definitely have something up and running fairly soon. I'm just finalising a few things as we speak and getting everything in place so as to make everything as smooth as possible.

I think you would be the third ?

Check your gitter. I sent you a message.

any release dates on your hosting services yet?

sizonov_stas

webeindustry is it possible for me to get in the top five? ?

Prosperous

luceos No date finalised as of yet actually. There are quite a few things going on at the moment including buying our first property with my partner so that is taking a lot of my spare time when I'm not working (and even at times when I'm in the office actually).

I was hoping to release my project once Flarum became stable but that may not be feasible or in my best interests.

I used the unrecommended method of installing on a non-SSH enabled shared hosting service. I have been able to run Flarum on HostMantis.

Excluding my domain registration, HostMantis with coupons costs me approximately $15 triennially for their Linux unlimited shared hosting plan. That is right: unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth for the cost of peanuts.

I have had no issues with speed or reliability with this hosting service for the last three months. For what I can see, they still have an 80% off coupon (SPRING18) and it works for their unlimited shared hosting service below. At the triennial rate with this lifetime coupon applied, you pay $15.19 instead of $75.95 every three years, which comes to only $5.06-$5.07 per year.

HostMantis is the best bargain I have found for unlimited or high storage (>10GB) hosting after years of voraciously reading Web Hosting Talk and speaking with many people in the industry. There is also StableHost, but they cost a bit more. But they offer SSH for their shared hosting plans:

Keep in mind that most any free options out there will have major drawbacks, meaning gravely throttled down in IO and CPU performance. It may take upwards of 15 minutes just to install an extension, for example, given these free service’s slow bandwidth.

0E800 are you using the s3 bucket for uploads of pictures?

MikeJones

I am not. I am using netcup.

I chose the RS 2000 G8 package.

I think the lowest costing means free. I know some free hosts.

FreeFlarum. This is free and very easy to create, just register an account then you can get your own flarum forum. But Chinese users can't access the forum without VPN.
Youjia Host. Make sure you can understand Chinese (I have Google) then you can go to this website to offer a host. To create host in this site, you must have a domain, you can use it even it is .tk domain.
Hosrfree. In this site, you can create a host freely by filling a table.

Want more hosts? Just ask for me to get.

0E800 LInk to your site didn't work for me, said could not be reached

0E800 What are you using the S3 bucket for then?

That's wierd , works for me.

I used the S3 bucket for storage.
The upload extension has a option for S3.

0E800 ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED is what I am getting. Could be the firewall?
