You could host it yourself... but that's fairly complicated and you need a static IP address.

If you are just getting started, I would get a webhost that provides you with PHP and MySQL. Everything runs on the webserver. You basically copy the files to your server space.... and load http://yourdomain.com/ubbthreads/install.php in your browser.

You'll need to have a database created... and a database user (your host can probably help with this) and you'll need to know the URLs and Paths to your threads install (your host should help with that as well).

If you are in over your head... Infopop has installation services available. It's pretty easy to setup and install, if you have path/url knowledge. Most installation troubles are because of confusion with these.

If you do go at it yourself, we can help you here as much as possible. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
