I use a lot of forums and on these forums, I meet a lot of people who own forums. One of the common things I hear on forums is that people want to create a forum of their own but they don’t know how to do this. I have given tips many times but I thought an elaborate tutorial would be better.
You need a domain and hosting. After your hosting account is set, log in to your control panel manager and go to the software installer section. From the category section, choose the “forum” option. There are numerous options for a forum content management system (CMS). There are a lot of free and paid options available for forum CMS, you should do some research and learn how to use it beforehand.
Since you are trying this for the first time, I suggest you try free options. You can choose between MyBB, PhpBB, or SMF. There are also other options, but these are the most popular free forum scripts.
