I trying to learn how to make a site, then add forums to it and register it with co.cu. As this is my first time, I'm using free host, buythost31.
So how to get started, I just registered and ordered a free site. Now what shall be my first step?

Start making the forums?
Or first, work on your website and add some cool features to it, maybe like top scores list, donation link, some pics and videos, then make a link to the forum where you know what to do next.

You should have chosen 000webhost but whatever <.<

Site is made already, just need to work on forums. Btw I used different free host for making site, then using other to make forums, then I'll link forums to my site. So please you just need to tell me, what to do for adding forums.

Thanks Daniel, I'll try this too. :P

Alright, on forums, as usual you need the folllowing boards:
-News and announcements.
-Donations.(Optional)
-Suggestions.
-Reports.
-Ban appeals.
-Bug reports.
-Administration help and support.
-Staff applications.
-Admin sections etc.

If it's a TDM, you can put like Clans etc.

PS:I would suggest hiring a Global admin with you to work on it too.
Also try createaforum.com for the forums, and make a redirect to it.

I guess you didn't got me, I don't know how to install forums on my site, I just don't know anything about it. So how do I start it off? lol
First I need to make database? If yes how?
Or I need to install forums like SMF? If yes how?
I'm pretty sure you got me what I want to ask. :P

Download the package of the forum you want to install first and then upload it accordingly. For example, download the latest version of SMF from it's main website, and then goto the how-to-upload/install page and upload it using the instructions given. Now make MySQL account from the control panel (make sure it supports MySQL) of your domain and remember it. After doing the aforementioned properly, goto the domain you've registered from your free host and install the forums accordingly. For more information about installing SMF, use ******.

Also, there are many tutorials about this on *******, try searching there as well as on ******.

I don't really understand what you're asking for, but I think you're asking for something like this:
http://php.about.com/od/phpbb/ss/phpbb_install.htm
http://forum.siteground.com/showthre...-in-my-website

I hope I helped you.

I suggest you to use SMF forums, instructions can be found on their site.
