Free hosted forums

[jonny20]

Hi everyone, new here etc..

On topic, I run a forum which is hosted by that offers free forum hosting, so this means I can get into the data bass, and thats it..

So does this mean I cannot add anything to my forum..

Thanks for any help..

there are several mods that don't require database access just have to find them.

You will need to have FTP access, though. Like access to the actual phpBB files, so that you can edit them or upload new ones.

Thanks,

Patrick

Free forum hosts are not suited to modified boards as a rule. Also, I'd recommend not using them for anything other than a "disposable forum" or one that you only need to run for days or weeks, and don't care if it disappears in future.

The problem is you're not allowed backups of your data, in some cases the ownership of your user's data is at issue, and these "services" have a nasty tendency to disappear.
