Hello,

I am completely new to uploading forums like vBulletin onto a server.
I think I'm going to use GoDaddy, but from there, I'm lost.
Basically, how do I do this? I have pretty much no previous knowledge of hosting a website.
I have been looking for the best forum solution possible, and this one seems perfect, I just want to know how to do it, so I don't buy it and then fail.

Cheers,
Gabe

If you user GoDaddy you need to make sure they put you on one of their Linux servers. Their Windows servers are not setup for PHP and MySQL.

You can view the installation instructions in our online documentation here:

Godaddy is probably not a great choice. Their customer support and performance is not up to the mark. As a newbie, you might find hostgator more helpful. There are a lot of good hosts around, I storngly recommend you to look beyond godaddy.
