I know this is a little off-topic, but I need some help learning about creating a forum website, who to contact to get hosting etc.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Feel free to move thread to appropriate forum, not sure where to put it D:

If you want free hosting, as in a forum hosted on a server and domain that you typically have no control over aside from the forum software on it a quick google search will bring those up. Typically most sites like these use phpBB.

A free FTP host with free mysql and all that needed for setting up your own forum ive used 000webhost in the past for a testing forum.

 

For your own paid server and domain I would give google a browse and look at a bunch of hosts tbh and look at reviews and what the hosts offer.

 

As for softwares itself a few I know and have used myself there is phpBB which is probably the most well known and most used free forum software. There is also MyBB which I for one really like. There is also SMF, which I haven't typically used much but I've seen quite a number of forums using it. There is also IP.Board and vBulletin for paid license forum software, though both are more for professional boards.

 

If you just want a forum for guild usage I would suggest the first or 2nd thing I have listed.

If you just want a forum, something like invisionfree is really easy if you're not web savvy.

 

Or I can help you out if you PM me.

I would suggest going with Cloudways Hosting because as we know the speed is an important factor in ranking higher in search and Cloudways offers the speed. Create and deploy forums and get a great forum hosting experience.
