Hey guys, I am new at this “self hosted” stuff instead of online hosted. I want a bbPress for myself, but I don’t know where to look to find a host. I us Apache as my server, but need a host. Please help me! Plus I’m only a kid.

There are literally millions of hosts. I am not going to recommend one. You need one that meets these basic requirements:

Requirements

That’s about it. Read some web hosting forums, take the comments with a grain of salt, decide on your budget, then pull the trigger based on the information at hand.

I’m STILL confused cuz where do I get the domain? Apache doesn’t offer a domain, nor service.

Ok, I found a PHP host called bluehost. This topic is HALF solved.

EDIT:

How do I get my files to work as a bbPress?

I am going to plug into Bluehost! (Hopefully)
