free domain won't be as good as those paid ones and sure you need to buy domain for your forum.
as far as i know . domain is some words or digits just like here we called it"webmaster-money.org" so no need to add script to domain but you need to add for your site. site is not only a domain.
It is up to your own choices, you can either use a free domain + hosting for your forum, or you prefer a total dedicated hosting and good domain name for your future forum. There are many sites provides free forum scripts, the most important things is your hosting site must support the scripts, if not your forum couldn't works at all.Quote:

I think that you should not go for free domain. I have seen many members saying " it is free domin and so the admin is not having money to pay for domain even". Thus it may create bad impression . So for business purpose, you should always go for paid domain only.
For forum, there are free scripts easily available and being used by some forum owners quite satisfactorily.
Well free domain and free hosting will not work perfectly first peoples will not belive in u and your site and will not do any posting also so u need to Paid hosting so peoples can trust u and your site also.Quote:

I don't know dear - is free domains easily hacked or not? But I like to create free forum - bez i don't want to spend any money for it. as a new u can start with this site and when u exprienced then buy all those things.. :lol:
yes. it's good for newbies to use a free domain and hosting at the beginning to practice and then try the paid ones later. maybe i'll try to use some free domain and hosting later.Quote:

but if you think about something good, then you must purchase domain and hosting.
