The most important thing is saving the data here - if the easiest and most reliable way to transition to a new server and more modern interface is upgrading the same program that's probably the way to go since coming up with funds for the basics is going to be hard enough never mind someone to actually do a conversion and ensure it's going to go correctly from program/db to a different one. Conversions are costly and time consuming on every level.
Vbulletin is actually pretty easy to work with and if we're upgrading from V3.x to V4.x, it'll work out really well.
Going from one server to another is also not that bad - the system upgrade can either do the SQL backup or connect to the DB on the current server and pull data that way.
The real crux of this will be several things - DNS registration and the transfer to a new host, $ for the new software and possibly $ for hosting depending on the current server load.
For my own curiosity (I'm working on an idea for a new website not related to paintball) how much money can banner adds generate?
That's going to depend on the site, of course. From the looks of this thread, your biggest revenue stream might be from setting up something showcasing single Ukrainian women driving Dodge trucks...Originally Posted by luke
It really depends on what system you use for banner ads & the content that people click on.
Keep in mind, Google Ads are contextual to those that participate in their network (same goes for DoubleClick, etc.). So if say you go to Sprint.com, you may see a Sprint.com banner ad when you go to a subscribing website.
So as you have seen, if you are looking for hot milfs on a website, you may see ads for hot milfs elsewhere. (Though you should be able to set up whether you allow adult content in your ad network when you sign up for them.)
Just looked up automags.org on statscrop.com

If that's to be believed, this site could run on a non-dedicated server for something like $10 a month...
Back in its hey-day, it couldn't. But now? Hell yes.
