Setting Up Bulletin Boards

[Guest Ted]

I'm interested in setting up a couple phpbb bulletin boards. I noticed that ***** charges 20 bucks to setup one of these boards.

 

Is that the cost ***** charges if I just need help setting it up/installing the board? Or do you charge that amount to everyone who sets up a phpbb board?

 

I notice on the cpanel, there is an option to easily install a phpbb. Is that where the 20 dollar charge comes from? If I use that service?

 

I've been to phpbb's website and I think I can handle the installation procedure myself. Then again, I've never done it before so I can't say for certain.

 

Thanks for the info! Right now I'm seriously considering ***** Hosting.

Hi Ted.

 

You're referring to the Add-on price list stating $20 to install PHPBB, right? Now that PHPBB is included with cPanel, there is no additional charge. You can install it yourself from cPanel and it's a breeze. If you have any problems with it, just drop a note here and we'll help you out.

 

Also, let me address that PHPBB requires a MySQL Db. You mentioned that you wanted to setup "a couple" of bulletin boards. Please note that the Budget plan only includes ONE Db, so you would need to go with a Starter Plan or better to be able to host more than one bulletin board.

Welcome to the SNH family!

 

And by the way, the install directions on phpBB site? Throw it way. cPanel does it all for you. You can, of course refer to their admin help and config options, but the install is done done on autopilot through cPanel.

 

Here's mine. I put it together and changed the theme in all of about 20 minutes.
