I stand corrected. I will absolutely try it people I work with think I can do it its not like it's a business site. If I can do it, anyone can. My boss basically came to me one night and said "Angela you can make us a website right?" My reaction was pure horror and "Huh? I don't know anything about making a website..." "Yeah but you can do it right?" "...I'll try?" *makes shitty website* boss is super impressed....okay then...

I really really want to try it. Another reason I like Hostgator is they have monthly plans so if it's garbage Im not locked in for a year and shit.

Drop SiteGround off the list. In the terms of service it clearly states no "profess hatred for particular social, ethnical, religious or other group". That creeps me out. Big Time. So throwing hipsters under the bus would get our site shutdown? I'm not sure they can handle HMF humor, debates and conversations.

That has been my issue with researching hosts. For every good review there is an equally bad review. Then it doesn't help that one lady on the board is like "well, I heard good things about *host* can't we just go with them?" I look up the host and find about 12 reasons why we shouldn't go with them and at least as many reviews bashing them, give them to her. She then sends me a link with ten "good" free hosts (that offer shit for services and no domain name on some of them, which means you have to be name.hostname.com which is ridiculous. I gave her my opinion on the hosts I've found so far and whatever the board tells me to do I will do to the best of my ability. We're currently with Powweb and if we have to switch, I want to switch to Bravenet. Whether they take my advice and stick with powweb or go to bravenet, or do something completely against my own thoughts remains to be seen. ...website hosting research has become my arch nemesis... I read that hostgator even allows port sites Porno sites

Was going to ask what made a port site so special. wasn't sure if you meant Harbour sites or port wine, but both were funny.

However, it made me laugh when you make an excellent point when you still haven't figured out how to add a signature here with step-by-step instructions, so ya know making a website...

I'd hold tight, I'm sure Foo can help with the domain name.

1. Find a host that: - is not gonna censor you - shut you down because some third party makes a claim - doesn't shut you down for your database size - doesn't shut you down for using up too many server resources for search functions - doesn't shut you down because of spam bots - does not play games with support (charge you additional for reasonably prompt service when you have a problem, extort you into paying them to fix an error you did not create) 2. Find forum software - make sure it is compatible with the host - make sure it has good, fast support - make sure it has enough customers to stay alive so the support continues 3. Transfer domain to new host and install forum It looks like you need the domain name to get a new host I'm not sure how transferring works when creating a new site Transferring it is nbd.
