    Hello!

    What is the cheapest web host good for drupal and forums websites?

    Honestly I'm not really sure what to look for...

    I should look for something with fantastico script right? or I can setup CMS just fine anywhere PHP is supported? and I need something that can host unlimited domains so I can share the space with someone or atleast get the most out of it.

    A little assitance needed for a newbie please.

    At the most I think you can start with cPanel shared hosting package which are generally cheaper. Just make sure you should look for a reputable and stable hosting company.

    Most shared hosts with cPanel include Fantastico. How many daily visitors do you anticipate?

    There are thousands of budget hosts out there, and it really depends on quality and reliability. Personally I'd never settle for low reliability just to save a couple bucks. Personally, I'd probably recommend hostgator or inmotion hosting. the vast majority will already have cpanel/fantastico, so no worries there. Good luck!
