Thread: Buying an IPB License

Why don't you just buy a cheap host for $5-$10 a month, and they will have a SMF, IPB Forum already in it. They set the database for you & you get yourself a .com, .co.uk etc
Worth doing it that way.
You can download a free FTP Client too, it's called: FileZilla Client
It's very simple, if you need any help let me know.

IPB doesn't come as a pre-install... Only free forum softwares do, IPB is a paid forum software. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

When I done my first Forum on hosting24 (shit host), they pre-install IPB for me.

There are some hosts that include a forum builder for you yes. But the software in which you can chose from is very limited. IPB is a paid forum software, so you won't be able to acquire it by purchasing a $7 webhost. Things like SMF, MyBB, phpBB, etc are included because they're free.
