Hi All,

Does anyone know of a good paid for forum design and host site I can create a forum on?

I'm not sure about hosting for only forums. At most hosts you can just install a forum, similar to what MyBroadband does here.

For instance at Gridhost (which is just one of many) you can install either phpBB or MyBB with the click of a button:

https://www.phpbb.com/
http://www.mybb.com/

True. I recommend you rather go with a host that is stable and fast as all will offer softaculous or fantastico to easily install forum software with. Check these forums for recommendations on good hosts or request a trial so you can play with an account before paying

Hi Darren, if you looking for assistance to choose a forum or assistance with the installation, you are welcome to send me a PM and I can perhaps assist.

Morning Darren

With regards to forum software I only recommend vbulletin - preferably v4 (personal opinion as 5 tends to be a little slow)

We host many forums. With regards to hosting requirements, any host who provides php hosting with mysql will suffice.

How do you still get v4?

How do you still get v4?

If you purchase the v5 license you can download and use v4
