    Hi guys

    I'm planing to make a website that will have a lot of pictures in it. The pics will be pretty big and heavy, as I want the visitos to have the oppertunity to post/upload the pics they want to share. If this thing is going well, then I have plans of making a forum to it also with the same ide.

    So my question is this: should I apply my "website and forum" to a ordinary webhotel or should I be using something like a server that I have to pay for every month?

    Sorry, for my english if you don't get my point :( Please help me with this and thanks in advanced for the help.

    most people can start out on shared hosting.

    Eventually you may need to upgrade to VPS or dedicated server.

    As for forum software, I can recommend SMF.

    I agree. Start off on shared hosting then upgrade to VPS or Dedicated as necessary. Good luck.

    I agree, start with shared webhosting. If it grows you can always upgrade
