how does this work? i mean, do i have to download it, or just register and i have my forum? is it free? thnx

You have to download it from the MyBB site and upload it to your own webhost. MyBB is free. If you find a free webhost (like iVolveHost or MyBB Hosting) you can upload your MyBB there and not pay for webhosting.

ok after i download it, how can i upload it to mybb hosting thing? thnx

For MyBB Hosting Services, read this:

As a matter of interest Dennis,

ftp access ?
Bandwidth ?
Disk-Space ?
Restrictions ?

PS Negate the questions... I was writing when we cross-posted...

Maybe one question... MySQL, how many Db's are the maximum ?

For MyBB Hosting by Marc, on my account, I have unlimited DBs.

Hosting package Red

Subdomains 0 / unlimited
Parked Domains 0 / 1
Addon Domains 0 / 1
MySQL Databases 0 / unlimited

But these questions about the MyBB Hosting organization should be posted on their board, not here

Yep!

Sorry for the deviation from protocol... The 'Old' fella just seen "Star Spangled Heaven" (Joke)...

I really should start a 'serious' forum, if I could only find something to talk about..

And someone who would install it for me.. ??

Generally there are two standard ways of uploading content (in your case, myBB) onto your website hosting.

If they require browser uploads, you can upload the .zip file and then unzip it in your hosting and rename the folder.

Or you could download a FTP client software (I use smartFTP).
once using the FTP software you could upload the required files to your website hosting.

You can refer to the documents contained within the myBB zip file (or the tar.gz thingy if you're on a mac) to find out how to install it. However you need to know how to login to your mySQL database.

I hope this isn't all too confusing. If I knew some detail of where you would be considering hosting your myBB It would be easier to explain with examples.

As for myBB being free? yes it is.

If you're unsure which hosting to go for, I suggest the myBB hosting that DennisTT said above. (im too lazy to post the link again).

Post here again to let us know of any complications or problems you have. If all goes well, let us know if your installation was successful

i want to upload it to the mybb free hosting thing, how can i actually do that?
