For many years now, I've belonged to a fanfiction community. Sadly, it has seen better days and most of its members -- including myself in many ways -- have moved on to other things. However, a friend is looking to modernize the website and forum, and since I used to be in charge of the forum I figure the least I can do is help him in that regard. The messageboard's last incarnation used VoyForums, but I want to set up something better and have been drawn to
phpBB. However, it requires web hosting, and that is something I have virtually no experience with. Consequently, I was wondering, are there any web hosts any of you would highly recommend? I'm looking for something affordable and, excluding self-advertising, ad-free and shouldn't require a lot of space since I only need to host a messageboard. El-Hazard Online's web host, for example, looks like it would do the job wonderfully. A free messageboard service might also work, but I haven't been terribly impressed with the few I've seen lately. Thanks in advance for any help you offer.
