Use phpbb, unless you want to spend some money and get VB. And I dont really know any great hosts, the only place I can think of is 1and1.com , otherwise just use pretty much any host for FREE as long as you dont care if you have forced ads.

If forced ads dont bother you use like agigforFREE.com or something like that.

Re: [coolgreen44] I need to know.... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Well actually i was thinking about doing something like...um a website then like theres links to a forum. Do you know any hosts that allows me to create a website and at the same time have the forum. Like for FGF, on the front website for Free Games. They have some links and then like 3 of the links are forums that are found on that website. What i'm trying to say is that is there a host that allows me to have a forum and a website?

All hosts will let you have that.

Well besides ones that are like invisionFREE where its only a forum. When you get hosting they give you your url thing and its just an empty folder you choose what to do with it. Put a forum in there and website whatever. A cpanel or something like that might make it easier for you. That was you just click and the forum is made and all you have to do it make the website. (Just dont make the ofrum in the root directory).

And have you made websites before? I suggest you make an account on agigforFREE.com and play around a bit (Its FREE)

If you wanted you could even make your website the exact same as fgf, just download gossamer and links sql I think it is.

huh? I dont get the part about the url thing and the empty folder.But i might know what you mean. Do you mean when you go into the admin control panel, and you manage the urls? Like for an example it allows you to add or delete extra urls???

By Admin Control panel I assume you mean like Cpanel, or website control panel. If you want a forum and a website you have to make the website in html and that has no control panel.

And the url and folder thing mean, ftp. FTP you enter the url and login and its just a folder you put your website and forum in there. Thats how a lot of the website works throught ftp, you add and delete html pages in the ftp, unless your using some program. Like a forum has a acp but thats just to change options you dont really make anything. Understand?

Like FGF is all programs, linkssql and gossamer forums, but both of these are running out of directors on FREE-GAMES.com.au

Well most FREE forum hosts you cant have a website to, those are just forums nothing else you dont get ftp or anything. (Like InvisionFREE its just a forum)

If you want to try out what a host would be like use agigforFREE.com it has forced ads but its a full host, it has cpanel so you can do anything and it gives you ftp access you just have to wait over night for validation. On agigforFREE you can use the cpanel to set up a forum and you have everything you need for the webiste half.

Well for a little more, if you want to see some good hosts go to here and find a section on webhosting and pick one, it has a page rank and I think the higher the page rank the better the host it is. Laugh

Make up everything except your email. I never put my real info any where on the net.

Put you live at 123 Baker st London England, it doesnt matter.

And you can put forums on there with cpanel.

I think almost every host on earth asks for that and about everyone on earth lies about it. Dude, they dont care if you lie just give them your email address and your good. Its going to take a while to find one that doesn't ask that actually offers anything, now if your actually going to pay then tell the truth.

And if your so worried register through a proxy server or something.

ok fine forget that.....so what forums can i attach the website. I used invisionFREE and it seems to allow you to do domain adding......such as domain manager. Is that right? If so, what do i do next? If not, what other forum?

Re: [Runemaster593] I need to know.... [In reply to]	Can't Post

Well if you do the domain thing with invisionFREE, I dont think its possible to have another site on that domain but I could be wrong. But you could get a website and just have a link to your forums on like invisionFREE like on eeor3s.com or you can just find a host with cpanel and use it to set up a forum, in witch you could mod and make it as great or as weak as you want.

But if you do invisionFREE thats cool to I guess, and with domain manager I think they walk you throught it. So your good.

thanks i just asked Athrin Onu and he said that Jammer and him uses their own server. So i might just do that. And i'm planning to either get hosting from Homestead.com or Hostgator.com. But i will look at the other ones that you guys recommended.

ok i just went to those web hosts. And pwnt, the plans are too expensive. And 1and1 is ok.
