Best phpBB Web Host Out There?
Could Lunarpages in fact be the greatest phpBB web host out there? I would say so. For those of you who do not know, phpBB is one of the most widely used open source forum solutions to date. It’s user friendly installation process and easy to use administration panel has made it one of the most popular forum scripts out there too.
At Lunarpages, you have the option to install phpBB manually, via cPanel’s Fantastico script collection or if you have the LPCP control panel, through the WebApps Pool. Every method listed, is very simple to do. You can customize phpBB to fit any situation. With the modifications and styles they provide, you will be able to setup a set of forums that are powerful enough for your needs and look just the way you want them to look.
The only big flaw I can find with a script like phpBB is it is very exploit prone. Due to the fact that it is very popular, it gets hit with security issues more than your average forum script.
