Free Software and Domain name suggestions

[Marie 1988 Forum]

Hey guys, I'm looking for start my own forum again. I already know what I want to do and all that but I need FREE software ideas and somewhere that offers FREE domain names. You guys know how I feel about shelling out tons of cash for something that's just a hobby

I mean, you can get a domain for less than $2 so it's not much, even for a hobby. In terms of software, MyBB is probably the best bet for free forum software

I've used MyBB before, both as a member and an administrator and I liked how easy it is to work with. Well, USED to be easy, I haven't laid hands on it in a couple years so I don't know if it's still easy or not. As for money, even if I want to go all out (which would be nice) I can't as my family and I are sitting on hard times financial wise right now, so I can't do as much as I'd like anyway, even if I want to because I really can't afford it right now so as long as I can make something at least presentable we'd have a place to start

www.ProBoards.com = Best FREE Forum provider and V6 is on its way! -- You can usually purchase domains for next to nothing if you find yourself a good promotional offer at a place like GoDaddy.com. Best of luck!

Freenom.com has free domain names and there are many choices for free forum software. However, unless you plan to get a mobile ready theme, I'd try to get one where the default theme is mobile compliant. Anyway, here is a list of major free forum software:

• MyBB
• phpBB (default theme mobile complaint)
• SMF (default theme mobile compliant)
• bbPress (probably mobile compliant)

There are several more. Anyone care to list?

you can use domains from freenom and website from 000webhost, these two are completely free services.
