They are fast. My phpBB get on their server in, well 3 secs. Anybody who uploaded a phpBB knows it takes at least a minute to upload! Great guys in there!

Strange TOS, do they allow adult content?

Im not sure if you know this, but barrysworld was about to shut down a couple months ago. They decided not to at the last minute. They might not last much longer. :(

Correct they were going to shut down, but at the last min, they got backing by someone,
--BLK

Do you have to have .desc (description) files for HTML and images as well?? That would be a bother...

[gyrbo]

That .desc is only for the public FTP server. The FTP server for your website is hosted.barrysworld.net . They are good. If you don't believe me here's a test:
barrysworld: http://www.nanowd.barrysworld.net/phpBB
f2s: http://www.prog-home.f2s.com/phpBB
Now who is the fastest?

[Baggio]

yeah, I agree with ya, barrysworld is one heck of a good host, especially for putting messageboards on. ;)

[Tharos]

I'm from germany, and your F2S board is much faster for me than the one hosted on barrysworld ;)

[BiteTheBugByte]

yep, F2S Board is faster for me too.

(I´m on ISDN right know, 64Kb though)

[Omari]

f2s was faster

[Baggio]

hey gyrbo, did u pay for the SQL on barrysworld or is your db remotely hosted?

[Coolin]

This is not a fair test. Your forum on Barrysworld has almost no content while the one on F2S is loaded. Even so, F2S was much faster. Even this was noticable on a 56k.
