Forum creation?

[CocoPops]

Right,

I've just bought a domain name, registered on 1and1 (Beginner Package) with 250mb storage.

So what do I need to start a forum?

Cheers,

Typically hosting companies give you packages you can install via them. eg; PhpBB... See what 1and1 offer...

Best way would be if you hostings gave you a forum package, that will pretty much mean little/no problems and if it is PhpBB it will be user friendly

If not go with what seek said but if your new to it then you may have some problems when starting it up

Easiest method is if you have Cpanel - and Fantastico.. one click installation!
