    I wouldn't recommend Godaddy as a host. I have had pretty bad experiences with them, moved all my sites somewhere else now...

    godaddy is only good for two things, domain name registration and kick ass commercials. do not host with them, you'll regret it, look for a good host at www.webhostingtalk.com.

    Before you install myBB, look at the hacks they have. And think what features you need. I am saying this since I have a myBB board installed and after working on it I discovered they don't even have a cash mod for the latest release ... if you don't need some features it's OK, if you need them, use something else till they catch up with the hacks creation.

    Prepare to send your credit card print and a fax to DreamHost, after you buy a package only then your account is activated.
    And that is why I moved away from them, not questioning their effort to provide best service, but CC Print on paper and Fax IMHO asking for too much:eek: :eek:

    I would recomend bluehost or IXwebhosting.

    try http://www.connect-hosting.com i hae a site with them and will probably change all of them over at some point, im quite impressed.

    Also as for MyBB, i have just bought a site which uses mybb and never had so many problems, they have security features in place which are useless, for instance - you can backup your database but its very hard to put it back in place, it ca only be done using phpmyadmin.

    If you want somethign easy to install id go with smf, it has easy upgrades, which can be done at the click of a button on your admin panel, its also easy to install as it comes with fantastico on cpanel (and has more mods/skins etc than myb as its more established and so obviously mre support)
