Is vBulletin free?

[~Volvagia~]

It's impossible for me to save up money, as most of my money would go towards video games. I'd love to get a vBulletin forum, but it seems quite hard to get one.

Jelsoft (The people who make vBulletin) do not host the software for you. Their product only offers the software package and you'd need to find a web host as well as purchase a vBulletin license in order to use vBulletin.

Also, currency really isn't an issue over the internet, not when paying by credit card anyway. I am from the UK and I purchase things that are priced in USD on a regular basis. The same applies for all developed countries.

Well, no one in my family has a credit card. Web host...? I've been trying to look for a free web host, but with no luck at all. It seems everything on the Internet costs money, money which I don't have.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's this:

Nothing comes free.

[~Volvagia~]

I'm only 15 you know, so I didn't really expect everything to cost money.

[Floris]

Well, lesson learned.

Regardless .. vBulletin does cost money as we're selling it commercially and we can't offer you any discounts unless you purchase in bulk.

Thank you for your interest in the vBulletin forum software and we're looking forward to your purchase. Please let me know if you have any further pre-sales questions.

$160.00 each?! That's a rip off!! No one in their right mind would pay for that!!

There are a lot of crazy people out there, because a *Lot* of people bought the software... Check out a free message board, you will be happy playing around with it, and it won't cost you anything.

Most of the free forums I've tried to use are very complicated! I've tried heaps of different forum hosts, but I never stick with them because I have no knowledge of HTML, CSS etc. That's why I never keep them, as HTML and CSS can help make them look better. vBulletin looks easy, that's why I want to use it.

vBulletin is certainly NOT a rip-off. You get what you pay for. And that's quality software, and quality support.

Does anyone have any suggestions for easy-to-use *free* forum hosters?

Finding a host and uploading vBulletin is easy, my dog could do it! Although, you cannot get vBulletin for free. There are free web hosts out there, but these are generally not recommended for hosting dynamic scripts such as bulletin board software.

[~Volvagia~]

Dynamic scripts? What's that?

[WurkAnimal]

No vBulletin is not free. vBulletin is a UK company not American. It won't be a problem if you pay in English pounds or American Dollars, it will still take the same amount f money out of your account but in the currency you have.

You can see the prices here.

FYI, Jelsoft is a UK based company, not a U.S. based company.
