    I need help starting a webmaster forum. I would like to use phpbb. The only thing I have is the domain name hosted at godaddy. If someone can help me do this please send me a price quote.

    You can try free forum hosting and use your own domain name eg. http://www.forumotion.com/. or you can try to find other similar host using search engine.

    You should try SMF because its a best first time forums. And once you start making some money, buy VBulleting which is the best Forum Software.

    I can help you out with some hosting space, and possibly my time too. Let me know if this would help you.
