Hi,
I am looking to set up a forum using the same (phpBB) interface as that used for Homerecording.com, but on a much more modest scale, and would like some recommendations about trustworthy, reliable hosts.
The free host that I used for a couple of years (forumatic.com) stopped hosting in late 2016, and they recommend a company called Bluehost, which looks alright, but I am still interested in hearing about other companies/hosts for phpBB.
It would be great to find a free host again, but I am not impressed with the ones I have seen so far.
Homerecording.com uses vBulletin, but the cheapest plan that I can see there is US $19 / month, which is a little expensive for me, given my modest aims. I would be happy to pay half of that price, and even happier to pay less than that.
I do not necessarily need anything that automates the process of creating a forum and sub-forums, as the two weeks of mental mayhem that I experienced when I learned phpBB several years ago has equipped me quite well to construct and administer a phpBB site.
Looking forward to any replies.
Thanks,
gvdv
