    Get a hosting
    Login to your cpanel
    Click on quickinstall/fantastico
    click PHPbb
    Install it on your domain
    Read PHPbb instructions form its website if you need.
    you are done.

    That's a great domain name for your project. You might want to consider having someone help you with your content, though, if you are not comfortable with English. (or make the blog in your native language instead).

    I don't recommend phpbb, i would suggest you vbulletin. It is more secure and professional.

    In my opinion Mybb is worse than smf, that has the lowest security ever.
    Also has a lot of security problems, you will have to add captcha, you don't have captcha option for posting on new threads.
    And you will get SPAMED.

    You can also get vbulletin for free from vbteam.info. And it also has cooler themes and features.
    But is your choice, if you accommodated better with mybb than use it.

    i've known not-legit versions of vbulletin to be easily hackable. i've seen it done too many times on warez board. i'd say go with phpBB if you decide to make a forum. i've checked out myBB, many of the mods are out of date with the latest myBB version. so i'd either go with SMF or phpBB, but that's just my two cents.

    your domain is pretty great, i'm sure if you persist with making it a community or just a website with content that you'll do a fine job. so good luck. :)

    that not a problem to create a website. You can get a domain name and a web hosting provider, after that you can use Cpanel or softaculous . In the control panel do have free software like wordpress 3.1 to let you create your blog and php software to let you build a forum. Is easy to set up even you do not have much knowledge in source code.
