What are the needs of the server in terms of Traffic, CPU, Memory and Disc space? I am sure someone here or on discord would love to help out to find a better hosting service for the Forum.

We operate a couple of small-scale websites that handle not an insignificant amount of traffic just fine on a $40/month VPS, with plenty of resources to spare. What am I missing here that's causing the cost of a forum to be this exorbitantly high?
Unlimited bandwidth. unlimited database resources, etc. I was having issues with previous providers throttling bandwidth even with "unlimited" and that caused the forums to be non-functional.

Same here, but the CC I use is expiring this year so that might have been the problem for me. Guess I'd better set a reminder!

Apparently I've been backing since 2021, via the profile subscriptions. Still listing as active in there too. Do I need to do anything for it to redirect?
You'd need to set up a new subscription here. It will use the new address. Thank you for your backing though
A new subscription will be appreciated, mine expred during the recent down period and need to restart it.
