I did not make this forum it is a free for use open source software that I am using. The original software can be found at http://www.phpbb.com but you will need a proper server to host it on.

A server is a computer that has been set up to host applications for other people to be able to view it's content, you can use almost any computer as a server but usually they are bought or rented and assigned a domain which costs money.

Sorry I can't really give an answer to that question because there is just too many variables involved.

I can't really give you an answer without knowing what it is that you intend to do, how about you tell me what you want to do and I can try to point you in the right direction.
