AI Thread Summary
When considering web hosting services, key factors include the need for medium storage and bandwidth, as well as support for PHP and MySQL. Some users suggest exploring affordable options like BigBytes.net, which offers low-cost hosting packages but may oversell resources. While self-hosting on a personal computer is an option, it can be complex, especially when configuring software like Apache, PHP, and MySQL without a user-friendly interface. For those looking to run a forum site, it's advisable to assess space requirements based on expected traffic and content volume, ensuring adequate resources for smooth operation.

Thanks,
Jameson

Also, if I were to run a forum site similar to this one, how much space would you recommend?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
