I am looking to start making forums and I want to use a host which allows you to upload your own files, instead of using their own forum creator. could anyone point me in the direction of a reliable host please?

Also, they must allow you to use your own domain.
 
what exactly do you mean? all forum hosters require you to use their stuff. Wether you download it and thenupload those files to your site or they give you a free domain(on one of there servers) and hosting...it just depends on which one you go with. But none of them let you make and upload your own files to create a forum(if thats what you mean). If you want to biuld a site from scratch then you won't be using a forum host.
 
Instead of the forum being automatically created, I want to install it myself.

I don't want to use hosts which require you to fill out a form and the forum is created straight after it's complete. As stated in my first post, I am looking to start making forums and need help on which host to use not including free forum hosts.

Exactly what Fowler said and Chris I will definately give it a look. Thanks.

Your most welcome. 🙂 If you need any help, please feel free to click the live chat button at the top right.
 
I would suggest HawkHost (FP uses them so you can experience their quality).
 
Our hosting services come standard with cPanel and Fantastico, so you can install popular services with the click of a button without having to actually upload or configure anything.

definitely use fatcow.com I love them, and they arent one of those fly-by-night reseller package webhosts. I have a couple coupon links if your interested for I think about 4 bucks a month. let me know!
 
I have some disk space and bandwidth that I'm not using. It's full cpanel hosting (I have a reseller account on hostgator). You could have 2g of disk space and 10g of monthly bandwidth. I'll you would have to do is post 25 times a month to my forum (and a one time 50fp cash donation) and you can have it for as long as you want to.
 
We currently have a promotion to get a month of free hosting from any of our shared hosting packages... use promo code forumpromotion.net on signup. 🙂
