   are you looking for free hosting or you're ready to pay for it ? btw also could you tell me what you're going to use that webhosting for ? (simple registration page for your wow server or real webhosting to host blog, etc)

   Well i want to have everything set up really nice, im willing to pay, I want to have my front page for the private server, then a forum with vbulliten(willing to pay as well), then my registration page. (like the one you showed me)

   *Front page- There is this template that i see on quite a few private server websites and on the bottom its says like "2007 krillins" i really like it cuz its EXACTLY like Official WoW's front page! Im still looking for where i can get it though.

   *Forum- Idk if you've heard of pbunderground.net? well he has a free template exactly like wow's forum, requires vbulliten i believe.

   *Registration page- Now i havent exactly got around to setting this up but this is basically how i want it.

   aah actually as for the registration page, you can get it for free (the simple registration page can be found at rospora.powerlogy.net

   as for hosting, that's depend on how you're going to setup your server, if you want to run the wow mangos process on your own computer, and the web server process on your own computer as well ... then you don't need to pay anything (free) except for the vbulletin software itself (cost 100USD ++) if im not wrong

   but if you want to host your vbulletin forum on real web server and even the registration page itself, then you'll need to pay for Webhosting, and vbulletin software ..

   but to make it short here are the choice :

   Free : but you still need to pay for vbulletin license

   - Set up everything on your own computer (mangos, all webserver related stuff)
   - or set up the mysql server, and mangos server on your own computer and use free webhosting that has support for php and connect the registration page to your server (registration page only since free webhosting isn't going to support vbulletin so that mean you need to host the vbulletin by yourself)

   advantage : free
   disadvantage : everything is limited on your connection speed

   Cheap :

   - Mangos and MySQL server on your computer
   - But vbulletin and registration page is on real server (you'll need to pay for webhosting and vb license)

   advantage : you only need to pay for hosting and vb license and since you're using your own PC (that probably has more than enough RAM, and good processor) you don't need to worry about performance

   disadvantage : everything is limited on your connection speed

   Hm ... :

   - Get a VPS / Virtual Private Server (minimum) or dedicated game server since you're not allowed to run programs on shared hosting to run all of them (mangos, webserver, and mysql)

   advantage: you dont need to worry about ... bandwidth or speed

   disadvantage: depend on your budget per month .. lol
