(Please note: I didn't know where to post this)
Anyway, I was wondering, How much does it cost to run this forum??
Cos its massive, and full of great stuff

Its Free With His Host because U Make V Bulletin in the Cpanel.
And To Get .com I Think Its just There Sub Domain :s

Well, if that was the case, then when you buy VIP, why does it say something like "This will go towards paying for extremely costly forum"?

[scottish]

It Mean It Will Go TO Pay For the Host which is Probably About £1 - £26 A Month And Domain £6 - £10 A Year And Radio £3.50 - £35 A Month

Although I'm not absolutely certain, I think ur wrong scott

See, there are 2 different domain names, 2 different websites.

If the forum was www.habbox.com/forum then it would be included but here there are two different domains, www.habboxforum.com and www.habbox.com and their payed for seperately as is the radio.

As for Habbox US, they are completely unrelated in terms of hosting, their forum uses a different host though Im not sure about the main site and those sites are paid for seperately. But as for how much it costs, all I can say is alot!!!

A vBulletin forum costs £130 to buy and I think £30 a year with upgrades etc etc.

Thats why most forums are IPB because they are cheaper.

Webhosting isn't that much the only one I know does it for £14 a year.

I Get Free vbulletin from My Host And I Dont Get Chanrged For Updates Etc

Vbulletin costs tons - I assure you

Then theres hosting, bearing in mind the huuuuuge amount of bandwidth popular forums use, then theres the radio, again owned by Jrh2002, radios again use huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge amounts of bandwidth.

More bandwidth = more money.
