Yes you heard right, free forum hosting. As you know by reading through my blog you have probably seen that I discourage free hosting as it is usually bogus.
I will not change my opinion now, I still agree that you should try to move to your own hosting as soon as possible.
But….
What is Free Forum Hosting Ideal For Then?
Free forum hosting can be ideal for a variety of things.
- If you are just starting your forum and you are finding it hard to pay for hosting then starting a forum in a free host is ideal. It lets you build up a community while buying you some more time to gather some money so that you can afford real hosting.
- If you play a game online and you are part of a clan/guild/tribe you can create a free forum to talk to your friends and plan a raid for that particular game you play. It lets you keep everything organised for FREE.
- Do you own an online business and you are not sure on how to set up your own online forum. Starting a free forum is a great idea to let you get to grips of running a board before installing it own your own business server.
- Just to talk with your friends. Need a place to talk to your friends, a Free forum is a great place to start. Why should you have to pay to talk to your friends online? You don’t any more!
- Practice forum administration. If you would like some practice before you launch the real thing, it’s good practice to launch a free forum so that you can get to grips with your forum.

Free forum hosting is a sort of trial and error. A person must try first whether he or she is capable of administering or managing a certain forum with so many members on it. If he or she can administer it, that’s the time he or she could make his or her own paid forum hosting.

Managing a forum can take so much time and not fun at all if you don’t have good supporters to help you. Successful forum hosting sounds like a really cool tool though!

I don’t want to manage my own forum, but I was wondering, what kind of forum do you manage? I’d like to visit it. I like to post every once in a while when i get the urge.
