    Hey guys!

    I've been thinking for a while, and I own a site, with Syntha-site (free) and a forum with Ipbfree (free) and I was thinking of upgrading once we get some more traffic for our site, and more members for our forums. But, how much would it cost, to get a decent host for both the forum and the website? Or better yet, the forum can host a website?

    Not really sure if this is the right place, but really, i'm only new! :cool:

    Would love some help!

    If you want to run a website and forum under the same domain, then I suggest you to go for a VPS which may cost you between $20 to $50 per month.

    Hosting is not expensive. You might be looking at $5.00 per month. You'll need a domain name, $7.16 per month from GoDaddy. Forums, you can use other free software that is available, PHPBB being one of them. But vBulletin is probably better in terms of SEO. You should probably make the switch now, because transferring content will be nearly impossible if you decide to switch platforms and things on your site.

    No, i wouldn't transfer content, i'd just start a new.... but I have some games and merchandise that i'm selling, so that should do the trick!
