Hi,
Her current hoster recently dropped the value down to 3 due to abuse by other customers on the shared server. They took the sledgehammer approach and applied the limit to all customers. We're only talking about a very low volume vbulletin board here so she doesn't need anything special - but even so, 3 is ridiculous. It was causing quite a few error messages to be generated.
A lot of places she's looked at have unlimited as the value, so it's what I was hoping for here as well so I could recommend Westhost.
Many thanks.
