    There are many free forum hosting services out there. Search google for free forum hosting. However, you usually don't get a domain name with such services. I recommend you buy a domain (from namecheap.com for example) for ~$10, buy web hosting (can be as cheap as $20/year depending on where you buy from). Then install phpbb (again, google it) and you are good to go :)

    Cheers

    It's a free forum software. Google it and look it up on wikipedia! Google is your best friend :)

    If you dont want to invest anything into it so you have nothing to lose follow this :)

    First find a free host.
    Then install a forum script (imo myBB is the best)
    Then start filling it and start getting members

    But before buying a domain and buying everything, test it first in your computer with your computer serving as the server (localhost as root). That way you get to maximize the value of your money.

    I have used smf forum as well. It is free and relatively painless to set up. I also believe companies like bravenet offer a forum services for about forty bucks a year.

    There are two ways to get a message board (forum) on your web site:

    1) You can outsource a pre-created board that is hosted on a 3rd party site, or

    2) You can create a message board from scratch on your own server

    Yeah simple machines forum script is cool :), very easy to maintain. Even you can find loads of free templates and plugins in the main website itself.
