I'm wanting to setup a forum for our youthgroup... Paying for one isn't a big deal, but I'm not sure how to do anything with websites. Will someone give me a hand? If not it's ok.
It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

Just install any forum software like phpBB. There isn't a whole lot involved and they walk you through it. Once you install it you're done. It practically runs itself.

You will need a domain and should get a web hosting account, too. You can do both at godaddy.com.

Thanks, I'll get in touch with my Youth Pastor and we'll get it going. After I register the domain, where do I install the stuff at? is it over FTP?
I used to be a big fan of godaddy but now don't like them... their commercials are trashy.

If you want a free one use phpBB. Version 3 is about to be released and will be amazing for a free forum. If want the industry "standard" use vBulletin. It's not free but an excellent piece of software.

You dont have to own a domain. You can host it off ur computer using Redirection Service...such as .co.nr or you could use no-ip.[info/org etc]
If u wish to host fr4om ur own computer..u have to have a Web Server, such as Apache, or Abyss Web Server.
