Need your advice in terms of choosing a right plan ...

Comparing plans from planethoster.com and inet.ws, which way is better to go and why?
I intend to host a forum.

When it comes to the reliability of web hosting services, M2Host comes first. Our web hosting plans are affordable and reliable. Our plan starts at just $1 per month. It includes services like 24/7 customer support, choice of operating system, and more. For more information, please visit our website.

For a forum the plan name matters less than three things. RAM: 2 to 4 GB is enough to start for a small or medium forum. CPU: high single-core speed, because page generation and database queries depend on it. Storage: NVMe for the database. Also ask whether you get root access to set up caching, and whether backups are included and kept away from the server. Compare both providers on these points and start with a month-to-month plan.
