it's unlikely you'll find one like that because the hosts have to make their money by either subscription or advertising.

You could try www.ezboard.com which is free for 30 days, after which you just get banner ads and the occasional pop-up.

I found a forum company but they're not accepting registration at the moment.

The Site Is www.aborwood.com

Invision Board do a free board but with limited support, they do offer hosting as well.

Whats the address of Invision?

http://www.invisionboard.com/

I use this board on my site... you will need hosting for it!

It will need PHP + MySQL.

I host my forum on my Linux box via my Cable Modem.... I purchased the domain stusplace.co.uk and just point it to my IP addy.

I don't think you will find something "free" that will host this board and it's MySQL database TBH.
You are probably better off looking for a site which lets you use their boards and suffer a banner add. At least banner adds don't open a shed load of browsers.

[Edit] IPB will host your board for you, at a cost...

Price (per/mo) $10.00
Setup Fee * $10.00
Data Storage & Usage
Bandwidth 10 GB
File Storage 50 MB

They are the "Basic" prices, more money gets you more bandwidth / storage.

Having said that, $10 per month is pretty expensive for what you are getting.

Thanks for that but i want one that will host for FREE like proboards.com

Stuart W 25-08-2003 13:02

http://www.google.com

They don't do hosting, but are good at searching for peeps that do.

MadGamer 25-08-2003 14:00

Still stuck on which host to choose can anyone help?

(For a Forum)

Russ 25-08-2003 14:16
