    Buy a domain name using PayPal funds or Credit card from GoDaddy, Namecheap or Dynadot.

    Get some hosting space from Dreamhost, Hostgator or Lunarpages. Use coupon "wordpress" to get hosting for $0.01 for the first month on any shared plan at Hostgator.

    Download & Install forum software or install it through CPanel > Fantastico.

    When you're done. Dance.

    Then the fun part (the really hard part ;)) comes... Getting members to register and post on your forum :)

    That's right... If you don't know what you're doing as far as creating and managing forums, then you probably shouldn't bother.

    Its very easy, just get a forum software, buy it, and follow the instructions on how to install... should not take more than 30 mins

    If you want to make a free forum, make one without any hassle. Google "build a free forum" and you will get many free host.


    If you want to make a real forum buy a hosting package. You can choose phpbb as your free forum script. Get it from www.phpbb.com
