You can have a professional site using PHP-Nuke, but having a professional looking site will not make up for using chat-speak and writing in a non-professional manner with poor grammar.

Web hosting is a real business industry, not something for hobbyists. If you want to become a web host, I suggest taking it seriously.

Thanks for your reply and no its not a hobby for me.
I have been looking in to this for some time now.
But as i do not no loads on web design i thought it would be better to spend money on the support side of things rather than on a fancy web site.
I would use a nuke site as i no how to use it.

I hope you are from a non-English speaking country. If not, you will need to brush up on your grammar and spelling "skillz".

Sorry to hear that, dyslexia really does not make a difference in starting a web hosting company.

If he is using nuke, then it is a ported version of phpBB.

afcbob, Spell Check won't help what is wrong with your sentence structure and grammar. I suggest you hire someone to comb through your website and fix all of the errors. People on here have done it for as cheap as $5.

If you are going to do a proper business design template for PHPNuke then no. But if you are going to use a standard free downloaded template then I doubt it.

It is all about showing a professional attitude and business practice to your client or potential clients.

If you wish to add a spellcheck option to your forum you can check for a hack or mod to do this for you.

Nuke can be good. You will have to use Sommaire block to make your own customer menu. Also, you will need to code your own individual pages yourself.

One thing you need to consider is the security vulnerabilities in nuke. Most can be secured by using htaccess and htpasswd to secure your admin.php and config.php and installing something like Nuke Sentinel to help stop mySQL injections and such.
