Forum Hosts [ Free ]

[Legendkiller]

Which is better ?
These are the ones i have used
IPBFree.com gets my vote as the best free forum host. especially with IPBFree Phalanx due to come out soon.
Invision Free is very common and is for a good reason. Though the problem is, Its never gonna update
ZetaBoards, I have only used Zeta Boards havent made a forum on it. So i cannot really say what it is like. But i didnt find it as good as IPBFree
phBB 2 : Simplicity at its WORST.. I really dont like it
phBB 3 : Much better than the previous version and good step forward.. Still not on the Competition of the invisions
SMF4Free was my first Forum host but they are not on the same level as the invisions either
myBB isnt bad but isnt good enough..

Have i missed any host ?
I have left out all those modded versions of Invision Free.. They are of no use in my opinon..!

[Legendkiller]

thought i`d also make one about Paid Forum Hosts
So which one do you find the best ?

In my opinion
Invision Power Board is absolutely the best forum host at the moment ! vBulletin is not so good in my opinion.. Your ideas ?

You know what? I think PHPBB3 is the best. And i have many questions to ask:
Does the invision you said thats better than SMF is free or what?
Can the invision free be hosted on my own domain?
Why do you like invision so much?
Why do you say its better than PHPBB? In what way?

I don't host my forum on other peoples place. Looks very unprofessional.

The invision i was talking about was the IPBFree

Does the invision you said thats better than SMF is free or what?
yes, IPBFree.com gives a Free Inivision Forum .. Though its not exactly the Paid IPB.. but the new version that is about to come out will make a hell more like it

Can the invision free be hosted on my own domain?
Yes, through the Domain manager you can use your own domain

Why do you like invision so much?
Because after using them for so long you get a bit addicted

Why do you say its better than PHPBB? In what way?
PHBB is too simple in my opinon .. I havent really tried the 3 one alot but after how much i have tried it. .Its a bit confusing and unproffesional .. Inivisions give you the real thing.. You know.. its the next best step after the Paid forums

I hope i was of help

but phpbb with your host with no forced ads, i mean you can not make money out of it you know what i mean.. plus its not exactly Ip.Board as you said, and its hard to modify especially its styles. You can upload the free Ip.Board 1.3 on your host which is the same v. ipbfree is using.

Well I personally like SMF v1.4 the best. It's quite stable and most agree that this forum system is the most secure one.

phpBB seems to have many security bugs so I don't really trust it (and never used it either).

Yes, but you cannot host it on your own domain. A major drawback.

i think i prefer invision out of all of them, but they're all different so it really depends on what you're looking for.

vBulletin is not so good in my opinion.. Your ideas ?

Why do you say this?

Those question what exactly I am going to pointed out, and yes, you are correct, hosted your own forum on other peoples place is very unprofessional. :wave2:
