My forum is being hosted by a free host, called Sudden Launch. Anyone have any opinions about sudden launch? My website is blkfireforum.suddenlaunch3.com. Any suggestions as to if I should stay with suddenlaunch or switch to another forum host?
Never heard of it. For like $18/year you could get your own domain name and hosting and set up your own phpBB, myBB, or SMF forum. You would be a lot better off doing this. Free hosts are okay, however if your forum becomes active the owners tend to want to move onto their own hosting. You would be better off just investing $7.00 for a .com domain and get a $11/year hosting plan.
I'm not exactly sure how to code everything though. I can code a little bit, that's why I'm using a free host. I know there are such things as site builders, do you know of any "forum builders?"
You do not require to code anything. The forum software is already coded, and ready to go. Just buy a domain, and hosting. Then download phpBB 3; http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/?sid=4fcb713ffe3bb97f651dcd2e2c071669 Then install the phpBB 3 files on your hosting account and your ready to go. Your forum will be ready. It's just as easy as using a free forum hosting company. Installing requires no coding, and is very easy to do. There is manuals on how to install phpBB 3.
