FYI, I highly recomend against letting someone else host your forum.
My recomendations are as follows. Buy your own domain and be sure you are the owner in controll of DNS and the Name Servers for it! This will give you ultimate control of the domain. Next, you get yourself a server or find hosting where you have access to the Database and the Files. You will need a host that supports PHP and MySQL. Now, you pay for the forum and install it. You make regular backups...
If anything goes wrong, you can take your backups with you, and even move the domain to a different server at a different IP address if you wish! You are in contorl. |

| Even if you can't find a good free host, there are plenty of paid hosts with ridiculous pricing, like $1 a month. |

Indeed, and I recommend tengun.net, but unlike in America, not everybody has a creditcard when they're 12 or some other means of actually getting their money to their host.
Besides, it's not like it's some kind of taboo to not have a paid 10gb/month personal 1PB SUN server at your disposal.

One of my friends from school (elfprince13) uses United-TI for hosting and it's really reliable.

| Yeah, this site is pretty good for hosting. Most free hosting sites don't even support PHP. Which is kind of annoying at times. Thats why this one is so much better. |
