New website / forum creation and cost.

Hi there,

First things first, im clueless at this sort of thing so please remember that!

Im looking into creating a new website and forum for my online gaming guild in World of Warcraft. I have found a template for the website here which was recommended to me, I assume this is pretty easy to implement? Now this website requires the following:

- A Mysql database
- A webserver with ftp you can access

What initial and monthly costs am I going to be looking at to get this up and running and what companies would be recommended to use? Ive searched a few websites but they confuse me.

Many thanks.

Your looking at around ~£15 a year + optionally a domain name registration fee.

Personally I'd recommend Vidahost. The starter package will do what you need

If you want a good place to start looking for hosting/reviews, then look at http://www.ochostreview.co.uk/

i think mine is about £36 for the hosting (for a few sites+forums) and around £7 for each domain name. per year of course.

i'm with www.tsohost.co.uk <-- which i recommend.
