Does anyone know where I can get a forum hosted?

Just a forum (MySQL) nothing else...

There are a few host's on these Forums who could help you out (me included). How busy a Forum are we talking about and which software will you be using??????

Otherwise try Matrixx Hosting.

I was hoping that that WASN'T the answer... :(

You may want to reconsider your choice of software after the security issues that phpbb has faced in the last 12 months - The newest version MAY be okay, but phpbb has gained a bad rep because of it...

If you want FREE but feature rich then my "tip of the day" would be SMF (Simple Machines Forum), I can't remember the web address so you will need to Google for it - it's very very good from what i have seen and i have installed a few in the last few weeks / months.

Anyway, back to the original question about hosting - is this a new site without members and do you have any guesses on hits / members etc??? You need to remember that cheapest isn't always best in these matters especially as you are looking at a php / SQL script that will require a decent server.
