| | I think it's easier to use forum hostings than setting up your own because, well, setting up a forum is pretty hard. And at least you save some space 
So what do you guys use? I found Forum77 and Forumer (both Invision Power Board), and they seem to be pretty good. Any comments on those two? Or are there better ones?
Or do you prefer to run it on your own? |

NO ONE IN THIS WORLD! would offer anything for free. [ charity organisations are exceptions ]. Even this host, wants us to visit the forums, put good information ( for search engine ranking ) and also expects us to Click the banners for all his maintainace stuff and hosting expenses. FORUMS take a hell lot of BAndwidth and as the Admin stated he has purposely put it on diffrent servers. Well, there has to be a catch. Even though they give forum hosting, I bet they will put their ADS. I rather prefer creating my own. It hardly takes an hour or so. But atleast, you are assured that u have complete control. What if the company closes down suddenly. I have come to this host because he has already Got a diffrent Site altogether and FORUMs are only a part of it. TOO Less chances of this company shutting down.

So it is better setting it up on your own host, huh? It still might be easy though, because sometimes you can just click a link in the cPanel and phpBB or Invision Power Board will instantly install! Thanks for the info...I probably won't go looking around for free forum hosting anymore then

It really depends on what type of forum. If you really have a big community, you better set up your own one cause it safer to have ocmplete control. If you're just having a small forum with your friends or penpals, you can just use free forum hosting. Forums do take up alot of space especially because of the signatures and avatars. Imposing a size limit would do your bandwidth a great help.

QUOTE (stopthewarm @ Jan 29 2009, 02:45 PM)  Well when you get forum that are pre installed i don't think you can upload plugins in them. And forums without plug ins are just bodies without life. Well so i believe there should a be a directory for forum installation where you can upload stuff.
And yes the website forum77 is not working my dear. So that it shows that the other website is a winner. It has been open since 4 years and has many forums in it. Well the other thing proved here is that free forums are not to be trusted at all. If you had a forum on that website hope you had back up or else i feel sorry and the good thing is that you have learnt never trust most free forums the hard way Ya, I like using addons to enhance my website software, including forum, portal and personal space. And I doubt if forum hosting would limit the use of some PHP functions like CURL, sockets, therefore I personally like traditional web hosting.

I don't think so that the forum hosting is good..... Even setting up a forum is not at all difficult its a piece of cake if you do every thing properly...................... There are many drawbacks using forum hosting and thus i don't prefer using them

Asp.net Hosting On Linux Servers?

10gb bandwidth - PHP and 5 mySQL databases - one ftp account - your subdomain will look like

Speed Test Results For Free Web Hosting Services
A comparison of Benchmark tests (11) The graph says it all. Trap17 placed 5th out of 28 Free Web Hosts in a Benchmark test performed in
2006. Not too shabby... For comparison, I set up the same benchmark on my Laptop and the Trap17
results were better by half the average of the test results. My Laptop would have placed around 23rd
on that original test, if those results are still valid as posted. There is a WoW! factor when a

involved, only the results are sent across the web, so as fast as my machine is, the Trap....

Trap17 Is Amazing Hosting Service

credits and off you go. In no time you get a great offer. I need my credits now, but I just want to
say, everyone advertise on your sites. Give credit to Trap17, they don't ask for adverts, but
it'd be nice if you could give them a little mention on a 'Credit's or 'Lin....
Gig4free Hosting Service Review

Good Free Dns Hosting Service
(8) Except the free web space and the free email, free dns hosting is rarely discussed. When you have a

hosting is that you can update it anytime and anywhere. Building up a dns is not easy, but using a

services would a free dns hosting provides? The management of basic DNS hosting func....
