| | 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.

i always search for cpanel hosting and use the fantastico system, works great, even for phpnuke or anything (i think it supports IPB, PHPBB, YABSE and another one) works good for me, you have full control over it, you can access the 'real files' if something is wrong you can just change the directory so noone can get in, you can make your own backups, and ofcourse: No ads at all! i tried to install a skin on a IPB forum, but was unable to, because it just didn't work, but going into the directory, i was able to put them in the right folder it's just so much better to host it yourself, and if you odn't have fantastico, you can always use tutorials on how to install it (do a google search and you'll find alot of them  )

SUddenlaunch.com or proboards have always worked for me. But you can always just set one up when you get hosting from trap17 and that will always work.

Speed Test Results For Free Web Hosting Services

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

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

Gig4free Hosting Service Review

Good Free Dns Hosting Service
(5) 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....
