my hubby has a Server.
800 gigs of hard drive space
64 motherboard (that new powerfull one, we have a duel 64, but Tom has that in his comp).
I think were up to 2 gigs of RAM if not, then its still at 1 gig.
We own our cable modem & get Full up & down, something around 700k (dial up is about 64k).

We run an email server, web server & a media server.

I was given a web address & it came with all the goodies, so I honestly cannot help u in getting a fourm. Karen & Paul might be better to ask, casue they prob. have more skills & info on this then I do.

I'm also getting a bit of help from my hubby. Hes taught me some php (VERY little), tells me where the files r so I can change them & tells me what things mean & fixes it when I break it hehehe, & I learned html on my own.

Play with html on an online sime game like Furry Paws. Heres the html website I learned everything from. Its very basic & easy to fallow. well it was for me anyways
html help

Most forums all you have to do is install it and it's all set up for you...it's not that hard

but u need a server to run it. I know there r personl servers, but I don't know of any that work well.

You just need a domain to host it...unless we're talking about different things here lol

[king2005]

I think we are hehehe
if I'm correct u have to pay for a domain name & then pay for them to host it.

We bought our domain name & host it our selves (lots cheaper). a server doesn't have to be a 2ed computer. I remember way back before we built the current server, I use to run a personal server off this comp. it was slow & unreliable

thats why we built our own. but we actually use its potential, so its worth having.

in this case, its not worth having a big server like us & paying for someone to host it is a bit better, but u need to have the cash, or find a free host & put up with ads.

Ahh, ok. My dad has some what of a server but he doesn't use it I guess??

I have a domain with lots of space/bandwidth and I don't pay THAT much..maybe 80 a year

[king2005]

but I think with a forum, u'd want a good amount of space & loads/unlimited bandwith.

When rob ran his gun forum, he was getting over 10,000 posts/month& then it went to 20,000. it was insane!!! there were sooooooooo many users while the main forum (gun nuts) was down for a couple of months.

[king2005]

Well the forum is up & working

I'm only missing an Image, URL & Quote button.

I cannot do this on my own, so I have to wait for Mr. Tech to wake up tomorrow to do it for me.

[Zany_girlie]
