How
To Host A Web Forum
Web forums have been one of the most popular attractions on the
Internet for years. The uses for Web forums are literally endless
ranging from exclusive discussions among a few friends or colleagues
to thousands of people from around the world discussing various
topics. While web forums have become more and more sophisticated,
they have also become easier to own and operate. With a MySiteSpace
hosting plan anyone can host their own professional quality web
forums with almost no technical experience required.
Of the web forum software available these days two of the most
popular are Invision
Board and PHPBB.
Both are free for anyone to use and can be activated from your
MySiteSpace account with the click of your mouse!
How To Do It
Step 1 - Choose Your Platform
The first step in deploying your forums
is to decide which package you wish to use. While the PHPBB is
probably easier to manage and customize, Invision
Board seems
to offer slightly more in the way of customization and administrative
tools. If there is a forum that you like and visit often, look
for a link at the very bottom of that forum's homepage and chances
are it will tell you which software they are using.
Step 2 - Click To Install
Once you have decided which platform
to use, the rest is easy. All you need to do is enter your MySiteSpace
control panel, click the Fantastico Link and choose to install
your forum. It will ask you which directory you wish
to put your forums in, and then we'll proceed with the installation.
In literally about 15 seconds your forums will be ready to go.
