ISO forum hosting

[FE065]

I've got a few ideas - and domain names already for some interesting forums ideas I have in mind, but having trouble wading the technical mumbo-jumbo in the hosts' offerings that come back in a search.

There are plenty of sites offering 'free' forum hosting that have everything all setup with plenty of styles/skins whatever already in the system etc. But most of them don't have a plan for you to be able to buy your way in at a normal hosting rate, to add your advertisers and replace their ads or Adsense.

So much for free hosting. Anyway, I have some experience with a C Panel, and can look up html when I want to add something-sometimes. But otherwise I'm not terribly IT hip in that area.

So if anyone knows a host that's going to be around for a while, and has a nice package all put together-rather than me having to repeatedly download sytles off phpbb.com or V bulletin etc. Let me know pls.

I'll take a look. Seems like a name I've heard before, but haven't looked at recently.


Well, I looked it over. After looking it over, I don't see a 1 2 3 approach in big letters guiding the new wanna-be forum host (with little experience) right into a set up system.

Seems to be more the piece it together type of thing.

Thanks though. I'll look thru it more later.


I've just gotten back in touch with a friend in Asia who's IT hip. He's interested in working with me. Maybe I can just have him put something together.
