Commercial forum sites

[bulrush]

Hi,
I am researching sites to host my forum. I am looking for site where we pay someone to simply host the site. I would be the forum admin.

I prefer the software vBulletin, but SMF is ok also.

Do you know of any commercial forum hosting companies I can look at?

Thank you.

Personally, I like phpbb software the best. It's open source and free and there are tons of ways to customize it. There are also tons of scripts that can be incorporated into it.

As far as a host, you can host it on any host really.

I forgot to add. I need the ability to attach images and files, like PDF files. This is really important.

I'm doing some testing on phpbbplanet.com, and I cannot attach an image or file, even as an admin. Anyone know how to do this? Perhaps they disabled the function because it is a free forum.

They may have disabled the function. It's available as an admin on your own site.
