And many have 1 click installs of forums like phpBB & InvisionBoard. You will most likely have to narrow your search down to a couple then do some additional research on them. Send them pre-sales questions and see how they respond. Also make sure you read their tos and make sure you can agree with them. Curtis H. 06-29-2003, 06:58 PM Yes, several hosting providers offer good "1 click" installed free forums as part of their hosting package. Take a look at www.Myacen.com. They offer phpBB forums. See if they have a plan that fits your needs. You can also view their customer forums to get better insight as to how they operate. ensol 06-29-2003, 08:36 PM what does tos mean? and where can I find 1 click installs? Lippy 06-29-2003, 08:37 PM TOS = Terms of Service TOS is basiclly a listing of rules and guidelines of what is acceptable and what isn't. This sometimes is used to outline the type of support the host is willing to provide. phpcoder 06-29-2003, 08:39 PM 1 click installs can be found in CPanel or in programs such as Fantastico (www.cpanelthemes.com/fantastico.php). Thanks, Cirtex 06-29-2003, 08:40 PM Many hosts, almost all here at WHT lets you host forums, any forums, usually the main ones, phpbb/invisionboard/vbulletinboard etc.. Post a request here at WHT, im sure many hosts will offer you really cheap forum hosting, depending on how much bandwidth + storage you'll need :D ensol 06-29-2003, 09:13 PM well, I am new here, thanks a lot for all your help catfished 06-30-2003, 02:49 AM Try http://www.surpasshosting.com/ I've only been with them for a few days but they seem great. They offer Invision Board and PHPBB2 forums with 1 click installs using Fantastico and you even have a third choice, XMB forum with 1 click from the C Panel. All these are available even with the cheapest plans. I'm sure thetre are hundreds of other hosts that offer the same or better but I just thought I'd put my 2 cents in.
