It may be better if you could find a good free website hosting service and host the forum there. Forum hosting sites tend to put ads on your site, and be less "flexible", in the sense that they do not allow you to add on some custom mods. Besides, the subdomain leading to the forum hosting site does make the forum look a bit unprofessional. If you aren't looking for too much, and just want some place to discuss things, then you could just choose 1 of the 1000000 services out there Wink

Even though this is 3 days old, somebody might check it.

I would like to build upon wegstar's point, a free host would be perfect, and i would propose the host awardspace.
http://bronavich.awardspace.com/Forum/

That is an example of phpbb hosted on their servers, they are bannerless reliable and provide one mySQL database per account.

You can choose subdomains, for example TheGolfForum.awardspace.com, and you can create multiple subdomains per account.

Although i sound like a salesman, it'd be better than a generic forumhost.
Yours faithfully,
Bronavich

Why not host a site and install a phpbb there?

The topic is about websites that will host forums for free, not free forum software Smile

Invision Power Board isn't free anyway, and it definetly isn't worth the cost.

PHPbb3 looks very similar to the current version of IPB and they don't seem to have any intention of forcing a licensing fee on you.

For the best free forum hosting I would have to agree with Bronavich. I have used awardspace once before and it seemed pretty good.

My favorite platform is vBulletin but I don't think it is free.
