Full Version: Free hosting and set up?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm interested in starting a mybb forum site but I don't have these things:

1. money lol

2. knowledge of how to download/upload

3. a host

I don't have time to go post in someone elses forum.
The only thing that I can offer in return is that I will be willing to place a 468x80 banner at the bottom of the board.

P.S. This would be an adult site.
You might have a hard time finding free hosting for an adult site, they use up a lot of bandwidth and also use up a lot of cpu power because they can be very busy at times.
Continuing from what Marc said, I believe most hosting companies would require you buy your own dedicated server which costs a bit. The cheapest, and probably most easiest, is to invest in the best broadband available in your area, and use your own computer as the server. That way, updates and stuff like that is easy (no FTP needed, no $$$ for the server, your the host).

Since it's an adult site, Pucker up would need a T1 line and they can get up there in price.

Pucker up might be able to get away with a Virtual Private Server, it's like a dedicated server only without all the resources.

Three VPS host that I've used before are

Good host, nice support.

Very low cost if you don't need cPanel. Only thing is their support really is bad at times.

Best host i've had yet. Only had to reboot the server once for a kernel upgrade.
