Need a good hosting site

[Lexic]

Hy guys my current forum was just hacked and then deleted so i am starting over and i need to find the most customizable free forum hosting there is! please do not post any hosts that do not have built in software unless you are willing to help me set up my new forum and teach me everthing =)

here are the ones i already know:
Forumotion.com
forumer.com
freeforums.org
iforums.us

I dont trust most free ones unless it's ipb free or some other ones - i have sharedhosting on hostgator, and would be willing to host someone off one of my domains provided i knew what the topic was 🙂

http://www.prophpbb.com/ is good one.

Prophpbb, WebHostingFox and SiteFrost. I've heard bad reports about SF though. :S

SiteFrost isn't that good at all. HostJiffy is pretty good though: http://hostjiffy.com/index.php

Host your own forum. Don't use something remotely-hosted like Freeforums, Forumotion, etc. The main reason being is that it's significantly more customizable hosting your own forum, regardless of software.

I normally recommend http://www.wehostyour.info, but something seems like it's down right now.

They have closed now... That is why i never recommend a non established free host that hasn't been around for years. Nearly all free hosts advertised here have closed. If you want better speed, less restrictions and less chance of a host disappearing then go with an established paid host and not a free host (especially one that hasn't been around long).

I don't understand your post above, but most free hosted forums (some get active and good) will end up closing down in a couple of months/years, you might as well go for a proper paid and hosted one. It's worth the cash, Freeforums.org and Forumotion.com are the ones to stay well away from.

Freeforums.org is full of bugs and errors and removes copyright for everything and Forumotion is general sloppy in terms of design and has been badly coded.

I'll set up a MyBB forum for you on my VPS if I can litter it with pop up ads and banners everywhere. Now that's a deal! 😀

whats the URL?

VPS = virtual private server. You'd have to register something co.cc or I could create a subdomain off one of my domains like lexicsadfilledforum.zonexbox.com
