which website should I use to get domain name + hosting??

I'm trying to make a forum website. So I would need phpBB or whatever its called??

ive looked through godaddy.com/hostultra/hostgator/hostpapa

which one is best to use and what kind of things should I be looking for in hosting?? hostgator seemed like the easiest to use for me.

I'd stay away from godaddy. I've heard terrible things from anyone who's ever hosted from them. I don't know any good ones though. I know Sunnyneo and NeoMallers are both on mediatemple, and Dmitri seems to like it

forummotion.com is one I discovered today. It hosts the phpBB for you, so you don't need to set it all up yourself. However, you still have full control over it.

You also pay alot more for the domain then normally buying and hosting it.

Good point. So I guess that excludes that.
