You can get a free one with limited hosting and ads with a subdomain like

On a complete different direction, there's Community Server.

It's a free (with some features disabled of course) community support service based on Microsoft ASP.NET.

For a view of it working just take a look on ASP.NET Webpage or follow the links on the CS main site.

I know: http://google.com

No, actually, there's a plethora of sites which allow you to have a PHP/MySQL enabled service. Like http://lifelesspeople.com

I have a host and a domain, but its not a server host(way too expensive).

If only I could put that 500 gigs a month of bandwidth to good use, my family isn't using it yet.

I would but i've discovered making websites with frontpage can be really time consuming. Really time consuming. Really.

I also have Frontpage and all of the Macromedia programs, could that be helpful with the forum building. Why I ahev macromedia programs and don't use, well it was just a oppurtunity I couldn't pass up

PS.(Again) How do I isntall simple machines, the installer came up as a Dreamweaver file and just opens a blank webpage.

Want me to do it?

All I did was upload all the files in my trusty cPanel, then open install.php.

cPanel = <3

No, I was offering to install it for you

All I did was upload all the files in my trusty cPanel, then open install.php.

cPanel = For people that dont know how to do it normally

Yay. *<3's you in a non-homoerotic way.*

 

[MrApples]

So, what free server service would be best?

If it matters I do have a website host and domain, along with macromedia programs and microsoft frontpage as I said before.

I could host you if you'd like. Just PM me.

EDIT: Oh... I didn't see you already got a host... Thought that a host was your problem... Sorry...
