Thanks for your answers! why LOL ?!?!? Of course I want to install one. It uses Pearl and it will have about 1000 users. Thank you for your offers but I've already chosen what soft to use. The only thing I want is a space of hosting and I don't know exactely how much do I need and how much bandwidth will use.Sorry for my posting twice. If you have another answers for me please reply on HTML section. Thank you!

Well the minum of installing a forum you be like 15Mbs or more. The bandwidth depends on how many users come to your site every month. Bandwidth you don't really need to worry about if your site has a low hit rate.But bandwidth is usually 5 times as much as your disk space your getting or sommit like that.If your just hosting a forum then I would say 100Mbs diskspace and 1000Mbs bandwidth will do you just fine!

under 20mb.. for installation and maybe 100mb for a starter...

[iGuest 3]

for 1000 user i guess 500 mb + 2gb BW is neededbut many things depend on wat skins u are using and number of userscos heavy graphics cause more bandwidth usageso take it in conideration

FNH is best

phpbb doesnt actually do that much for 20mb of coding really does it... i coded a fairly simple one which does about a 10th of the functions in about 20kb!... although i guess that didnt actually have profiles, or usergroups, or PM's (they were separate) so hmm, maybe its not much at the end of itits the post content that takes up the space... generally think of 1 character being 1 byte in a mysql db,
