    Buy hosting, install script. Are you asking something besides this?

    Post here that you have a directory at this address and want people to sign up.

    You may want to try the free 2.0 version on a test install to get your feet wet. It is fairly easy to upgrade to 3.06.

    You will either learn how to upload and set up a site or totally hate the whole concept in a few days.

    I actually suggest 3.06 as the better choice if you have ever installed scripts as in comes with a template chager and two extra templates. Many people are currently developing templates that are either free or low cost.

    You will also need a domain name and a hosting account. GoDaddy is excellent for domain registeration. For the hosting avoid GoDaddy and Dreamhost if you want to use PHPld.

    You will find a lot of helpful people here and at the PHPld forum who will help you get started.
