setting up a forum

dont worry not to compete with this one
just wanted to set up a simple forum site, but with a .co.uk web adress
but any free or cheap forum site ends up with something like, .myforums.co.uk at the end
didnt know if you could create one, then re host it through a domain site that i get the .co.uk adress off, if that makes scense
im just new to the whole forum and hosting thing
and any help would be massively apreciated
cheers
chris

just take out a basic hosting package that allows you to create a mysql database, just upload the files and adjust the forum configuration files to suit you database details and away you go.

try dataflame UK on a simple windows package you can install phpbb forum with just the click of a few buttons from within the Plesk Hosting admin control panel

You could try:-

www.34sp.com

I use them and they have scripts for setting up most systems online. And at £3.95 per month, I think it's quite cheap!

I would use one.com for hosting and .co.uk costs £10.70 for one year.

For the forum I would use PHPBB http://www.phpbb.com/ which is free and pretty simple to set up.

PM if you are not sure I can set up above for you for small fee.
