How much money do you need to crerate an online forum

[Nomad]

How much money do you think you need to create and run a forum like this one (Discussion Bucks). YOu need money for a domain and hosting, you also need money for the forum software. You also need money for premium themes and addons to make your forum interesting. If you want to run a PTP forum you also need money to pay your users. If you use open source software instead of premium software, your cost of creating a forum might be relatively small.

True and the different domains also have different costs not to mention you have to renew them once in a while but the effort is worth it once it starts paying off.

Yes, different domain extensions have different proce attached. However, if you want to get a low priced domain always go for King com, it costs less than most domains available in the market and is also most trusted extensiom.

We can of course detail the amount of money we need to create an online forum, starting from the price of domains, hosting, software, etc., but in operating an online forum we also need skills about websites, etc. Because not long ago I met someone who bought a forum site but he couldn't operate and manage it so the forum site became inactive.

Running a forum site is not as easy as people think it is , it requires proper management, sacrifices and commitment especially in the first year of running it.

I never did created a forum but I believe that it depends on quite a few factors like what kind of forum design etc not sure the price but probably at least 1000 dollars

In my view, the most important consideration that a person aspiring to launch a forum site concerns whether she has sufficient money to pay posters.
Posts by users are the blood that runs forum sites. Failure to compensate posters in a timely fashion will thus translate to a sure death of a platform.

When starting a forum, it depends on what you wish to achieve from the start. I would say if you are looking to start a forum with only the basics in the beginning you would only need to worry about the hosting and the domain name unless, of course, you want to go with premium forum software in which case, that will also be an added expense.

If you are not looking for too much in the beginning, you could probably get away with just the domain and the hosting in the beginning and work your way up from there.

As far as l am concerned, l would try out the free software forums for free. Therefore l would upgrade to the better software when l find the first forum very rewarding for sure.

 

[codescript94]

I believe that in the beginning you do need to have a good cash flow, but later the forum has to pay for itself with ads, adverts, etc.

 

[Laurentta]

I do not know the specific amount needed to create a website. It actually depends on the kind of website you want to create.

 

[Stardom22]

For me l had thought of starting a free hosted forum site. It's wise to taste the waters with some cheaper approaches and spend more money when the things opens up for sure.

 

[Xtynehappy]

In my opinion, starting an online forum is something that its not in my mind for now and l really have no information about it

 

[Starmix]

Even if there is big capital, the problem is the skill and expertise of the person who wants to run a PTP forum site.

In my opinion, if you are creating on your own the expenses will be less that employing people to create it for you, the hosting might be a challenge too
