Yahoo?
As a non-tech I created my first site using yahoo hosting almost 6 years ago, wordpress, piece of cake. Never needed anything else as we use it for our internal keeping of daily events information. Now that I want to run Elgg I have the feeling it won't work, if you type "elgg" in the help section nothing comes up. I would like to have a 1-click installer for elgg. My plan is Elgg + Moodle + Chat + Video Conference. I guess I will need a powerful hosting but I am not sure what the best option would be.
So far I just found out MySQL with yahoo is 4.1.14, I guess that won't work and I haven't been able to find out if it can be upgraded, so there seem to be thousands of host, what shoudl I go for if I want all that described above? My highest budget would be 20 dollars a month (better if cheaper!) Maybe upgrading depending on later needs. Video streaming needed, chat, etc. Only about 200 users during the first 3 months.

You must log in to post replies." Elgg + Moodle + Chat + Video Conference.. Video Streaming " ?
There's (commercial) PlugIns floating around that can integrate Moodle.
Chat and Video Conference(!) and Streaming ? You'll need a Server much more powerful than $20 can buy... to be able to handle all those features ;)
I only have about 100 studenst at my school currently, let's say that 200 students three months after up and running. Well, I guess you are talking about a dedicated server. Thank you
From the descriptions of expected activity for your school's website. You will probably need a decent VPS Server (generally $25-50/mnth). However as the user-base grows *and (more important) the "site activity" [ numbers of users online, creating, updating data - beyond passive browsing ] -- then you'll need to carefully study performance issues to determine whether more Server power might be needed. "Dedicated" Servers come in many "flavors" - some ISP/Hosts will advetise big server power, heavy VPSs, 'Cloud" Servers, etc. But there are really few Hosting companies that offer the kind of computing power needed to support large websites based on Elgg - which (unfortunately) needs more than most of the simplistic style CMS type platforms being used. e.g. WordPress (Joomla, etc) power requirements are much lower. It is just the way Elgg has evolved that has power needs. I suppose in good time Elgg's internals will evolve to become leaner.
Super, understood. Thank you!
