If im out of place , please correct me, and if you dont wanna answer no need, i eventually will find someone to help.

I m leaving for the military soon, and wanna start a private forum for my family and friends all over the country and world, to keep in touch without emailing tons of people, when i can just make 1 post in a forum.

Now.....does this forum script cost money? MYBB?
And , what do i do from here, Whats the best company to rent server space / database from?
Or is there a way to put the datebase in my HDD - so that a company wont have all my post stored on there server's?
I was a Moderator on a forum before, but never have is tarted my own or looked into it.
I dont know what im talking about, or where to start, so actually if you just take into account of what i typed, but then again just ignore it and tell me what to do Smile It will be greatly appreciated
I leave sept18th and would lkike it all setup by then
this forum software is free but you will need to buy server space with php and mysql. Since yours wont be a big site i would suggest a freewebhost like http://freehostia.com or http://www.createmybb.com/ . I could set one up for you for free but i would be http://yourdomainname.incadudef.com and i would require one ad to be placed in the footer. PM me if your interested.
Also maybe message BMR777, he has a very good free package.
