What all is required to get a forum website going?

There is a good website that does not need great programming skills.. And that is.. tadadadannnng.... ForumCommunity.net

Hey man,first of all You need to get yourself a Domain name,after that you need to get hosting for your Website. and After that you need to get a forum script working for you. You can buy hosting or you can get Hosting through a Rebates website. A rebate basically means a cash back. there are a lot of companies that offer Rebates for Hosting. But I like Webhosting-10 These guys offer a 100% rebate/Cash back after you have not canceled your hosting account for 30 Days. I'm feeling Really Good Today so I'll make a forum for you free of cost. ofcourse assuming that you pay for your hosting & website charges. If you want I can setup your forum using phpbb or vanilla,which ever you desire,and I wont even charge you a penny! :)

IMPORTANT: Before you decide on your perfect hosting, you need to take a look at this: http://mysteryautoincome.com/mp-c.html You will thank me later...

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your forum website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name. If you’re going to create a forum site at your own domain without any forced ads, you need a web host providing forum tools (phpbb or vbulletin). One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . Their service is really great and easy to use. If you sign up for this service you will have $75 credits to advertise your created forum with the google & yahoo search engines for free!

Definately agree. PhpBB is free and fantastic. Really easy to set up and extremely good.
