Best free forum host?

[Skky]

My form is currently on Boardhost, and I'm not sure I like them. The options when posting something are only Bold, Italic and Underline. There are no IMG codes, link codes, etc. and I think that's discouraging to new members. However, I do like how the admin panel is set up (it's pretty easy and straightforward) and how my forum looks.

So, in your opinion, what is the best free form host and why?

Thanks! 🙂

If you want to check that out there's heaps of free forum hosts for all free software. Might be something in there more suited.

Do you have a software preference?

Thanks!

I don't really have a software preference because I haven't experimented with a lot of free form software. I'm pretty much open to anything.

I reccomend Zetaboards. It's free and very easy to use. You can customize a lot in the admincp or use codes and do pretty much anything with it. I have 74k on my ZB forum. 🙂

I think I'm going to give it a shot. 🙂

Zetaboards is good and so is www.proboards.com as well.

http://forumotion.com is good So is http://icyboards.com

I highly recomend Cpanel hosting but your forum is your choice 😀

I'd recommend that you host with a full webhost on MyBB but ZetaBoards is great if you're just a casual forumer who doesn't want to spend any money.

Good one ..or you could ask why should you waste your money on it.

I never have really liked zetaboards. Whatever you do, make a research on them, try demos, I wish I had done taht with my community. It really is worth in the long run, be sure it has everything you like, don't just assume they will.

Mybb is a good place to check

Google cpanel hosting

ZetaBoards is a very nice free forum host. Very good support. A very large amount of resources, high quality as well. Not only that, but completely custom themes cost about 40 bucks from even the best designers.

I reckon that it's better to just use a free host- way easier to upgrade or change platforms and add modifications.
