Hi experts.
Totally newbie on mybb.
Any advise will be appreciated.
I'd like to make a forum for my team.
The forum is for general discussion and number of members are about 30 people.
What is the best windows OS for this forum?
Do I need a windows server?
Thank you.
You don't need windows server for MyBB installation and I will suggest going for windows 10 as I love it

Do you think win 10 is good enough for dozens of people access simultaneously?
To host MyBB, don't use Windows. The overhead isn't worth it.

Google it, then? - it's not that hard!
Use CentOS for hosting purpose as it is compatible with everything you need for a successful web site. If you are unable to perform tasks by command console you can install any free web based control panel like VestaCP to hel you in managing website.
You're asking the wrong question. Just use shared hosting.
I agree with Nathan Malcolm if you have a small community then use shared hosting instead of servers. You can try any of the available hosts which fits in your needs and budget. I would suggest stablehost, a2hosting and TinkerHost for your shared hosting needs.
I strongly recommend a dedicated server as your first expense when starting your forum. It may seem absurd, but your forum is gonna be huge and it's always smart to be over-prepared rather than under-prepared.
