Ill have to agree with handyman here im afraid. Have a quick look Here The 99p package is bar far the best deal of that level and the cheapest. You could get a free host but will have pop ups and ads. To host from you pc you will need to set up a web server, php, my sql which is a pain in the a**! I recently tried my self but gave up after weeks of trying. With web solutions you get an item called fantasico which installs phpbb2 and other options as shown below.



For the sake of 99p a month id go to them.
