Seriously, use google.

And you'll probably need a domain name.

You'll need to pay for a domain name...

I've been reading my PC World, and 1&1 webhosting seems to have some pretty good deals, but I don't know the specifics on if it's forum compatible or not.

InvisionFree is the way to go.

They use IPB however.

Use phpnet.us, and then use ftp to copy all the files from the phpbb folder to your ftp account. Then just set it up. If its only a small forum you could look at using forumer.com, and setting up a forum with them, doesnt offer as much flexability though.

You can mask it with a .co.nr free domain. Or even a .tk domain.

For .com or .net you'll have to purchase it.
