Great forum hosting!
"I run a badminton forum here in the UK based on Vanilla. Over the years, I’ve had numerous problems with other hosts simply because they’re not experienced in what it takes to configure a system to operate Vanilla. Fortunately that is not the case with HostPresto. Their Vanilla hosting plan not only comes with the most up to date version of Vanilla installed, it’s also optimised at server level!"

Knowledgeable hosters!
"Vanilla is my favourite out of all the community software – and there are a lot. Whilst my forum is still in its infancy (but growing) I decided right off the bat to take out a proper Vanilla hosting package from the good chaps at HostPresto. My site is running lightning fast at the moment – hopefully it stays like that! :)"
