phpbb or php bulletin board is free internet forums software. It is the most popular open-source PHP forum script available. With phpbb you can create online community where users can talk to each other, create thread, posts, add attachments. User permission system is integrated into core features, acls, bans, captchas, administrators, moderators, categories and many others. Style manager is included, where you can easily change the design of your website. Lots of free themes are available on the net. If you want to extend your standard phpbb forum, you can use mods (modifications). They are separated from core code and are easy to install. There are also lots of free modifications available allowing webmaster to create forum fit for their needs. Hosting requirements for phpBB are PHP and MySQL (although other database systems are supported: oracle, ms sql, posgresql and others), MySQL is the most popular database system and is available on thousands of hosts.
Hostmonster phpBB Review
On hostmonster phpBB should run without any problems, because hostmonster have the LAMP setup (Linux Apache MySQL PHP). Installation can be done manually or via Fantastico one-click installer cPanel tool. I recommend Host Monster as as phpbb host.
