Does Anyone Know How To Get A Vbulletin Forum and Install It?

Cheers

You can download the software from VBulletin, but it does cost a bit of money.

is it really £91?

Yep!. I looked into it myself, but if you go for the one-off payment version, you can use it for as long as you want.

Sorry if I've misunderstood. Do you want to set up a forum on a server?

Would phpBB do the job?

Or perhaps a freeware CMS such as E107 or Joomla?

As I understand it with any web hosting other than what ISP's offer for free there must be some kind of control panel provided. Does that provide any info on what is available and what is possible?

Otherwise, the web hosting company should have some documentation listing what software they provide, or barring that maybe there's a users' forum or help desk. And - subject to their rules - you might be able to download, upload and install any other server software yourself manually.

FWIW I installed E107 on my WestHost web space manually, having never done anything like that before. It wasn't too tricky.
