Finding a good FREE site?

Ripjaw · 15 Apr 2013 at 18:55

Hi guys, im starting up a multi gaming clan/group, can anyone point me in the direction of a really good free site to use? wanting a site with a forum if not just a forum.

Also is there any photoshop wiz kids out there who would'nt mind doing me a small favour? I can pay in booze or sweeties lol

Vidahost - £17 for a year hosting. Install forum software.

10x better than 'free' forums.

I did this once before, had a server with phpbb running on it, free domain and free web hosting. It's a pretty good host but can be a little slow at times and web space usage and bandwidth obviously, but can't really complain as its free.

You can also host a website and a forum off it like you asked in OP

Its pretty simple to setup, you just need to know how to use FTP and some mySQL bits, if you do decide to go for my option and get stuck, just PM me or add on steam "freddie589"

This.

You need teamspeak 100%, this i am sure, you dont need to pay for it, there are 1) many free ones that you can join, 2) you can host your own if any one of you guys have a semi-decent stable internet connection.

You dont need a website unless you are serious about starting a clan, in which case you need both paid hosting and a proper teamspeak server, and game servers, but that is dependent on which game you are playing etc.

Nah its not really a clan more of a group of knuckle heads lol, maybe if we do get a server i'll go down that road but that's a way of yet tbh.
