Setting up an Online Forum
I need some help here computer whizzes
Does anyone have some good links to reputable online service providers for phpBB based forums. I'm looking for something with decent transfer bandwidth, a decent amount of disk space, 99% up time, not to expensive but I dont want to cheap out.
I really dont have all the time in the world to adminstrate back of house programming, I want as "plug and play" as possible here.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Ace host [ http://www.ace-host.net/ ] is very cheap, and I run my forum on there. To prove it check out my forums. Just don't sign up for it, it'* just a test server.

I use http://www.godaddy.com/ I forgot how much I paid.. but it was pretty cheap.
haro: you "just_don't_sign_up"? You completed it just fine. I have had problems with the 2.0.10 version.. I haven't upgraded yet [too lazy]. Try loging in, post a message, you'll see it works fine otherwise.

Anyways!
Sol, what would you recommend for a web forum that has 200 members already and the potential for upwards of 500, based on the UZIPP site, which one would be suit my needs?

Ew, that'* tough to say. I don't know how much bandwidth these forums suck with that many members. What I would do is contact help @ uzipp. com and ask them what would be right for you.
I have a special deal there cause I've been a member so long, so I get a ton of bandwidth ... 30GB a month ... so see what you can find out from them.
