Hi,

have you purchased web hosting from NFO already? or are you going to use an unmanaged VDS?

[Novace81]

yes i already have a server account and it came with free webhosting from this company i just dont know how and i need help with it cause i want to have a sever and clan page in one.

The free webhosting here will come with an example subdomain setup already. I'd recommend creating a database through the "Databases" page, and then using the "Autoinstallers" page to generate a phpbb forums installation, which is usually the best place to start, if you are new to running a site. From there, you might dabble with the Wordpress or Drupal autoinstallers.

@ John - Wouldn't the autoinstaller create the database automatically? (Been a while since I last used NFo hosting but as far as my knowledge goes it would create it automatically.)

As a matter in fact, I have a couple bucks in my account, I'm going to test out your small package again

An autoinstaller won't create the database itself, but it will populate whatever database that you specify. If you try to use an autoinstaller that requires a database, without a database, it will let you know that you need to create one.
