PhpBB Help

That emoticon is wierd.

You've downloaded the package, and now you have to extract it. This will create a folder that you can call forum, forums, phpBB, actually whatever you want.
Then you need a web account on which you can upload this folder. What hoster do you use?

Which hoster would you recommend?

[Beebop]

i KNOW A FEW HOSTERS, BUT hUNCH WILL KNOW BETTER ONE'S MAYBE.


edit: Sorry about the caps

Which hoster would you recommend?

It depends on what you want. You can use free hosters, which insert ads in your website, or professional hosters, that provide a better hosting and of course no ads.
For instance, it costs me money to host PC.

What free hosters do you know?

[Jman]

I have an ok free hoaster. I use http://www.jconserv.net/.

[Beebop]

I don't use a hoster for my forum.

I more looking for a website hoster, not just something for a forum. But I might use this for practice.

EDIT: I just created a forum, on another host because this one didn't work properly. I'd like to know if I need to download a phpbb client, and how to use themes and currency. Thanks so much.

This is not a real hoster, as phpBB is pre-installed, you can't modify it as you want

[Beebop]

But isn't a PhpBB forum already hosted by PhpBB when you make it?

[SamBeckett94]

No. If things don't work out, I'll stick with Invision.

Ok here is a great one. http://www.maiahost.com/

[Beebop]

Invisionfree are simple and easy to use.

[SamBeckett94]

It certainly is.

[Beebop]

I prefer them.

[Hunchman801]

Well, if you choose a pre-installed forum, whether it's phpBB or Invisionfree, you won't be able to do many things with it, and if one day your forum becomes larger, you won't be able to transfer it to a real hoster

[Beebop]

I doubt any of my 3 forums will ever get any larger, tbh.

[Feanaro Surion]

I'm using http://www.eamped.com . It's down right now, though, so I can't access it. However, it's unlimited members and posts. I'm good.

[Beebop]

Phpbb is for pro's really.
