Aplus.Net Gives Free Bulletin Board Software to Web Hosting Customers

Aplus.Net (www.aplus.net), a leading web site hosting and development firm for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), today announced that they now offer free bulletin board software to customers who want to include public forums on their websites.

Aplus.Net has incorporated phpbb, the webâ€™s most popular Open Source bulletin board software, into their web hosting plans. Bulletin boards make it easy for web site owners to create online communities and repeat traffic by allowing visitors to post messages on the site for other users to read and reply to.

New and existing Aplus.Net hosting customers can easily create and run bulletin boards via their Aplus.Net web Control Panel - an award-winning collection of tools that hosting customers use to administrate, publish, design, and market their web sites.

"Bulletin boards have proven to be a mainstay of the Internet," said Ivan Vachovsky, Chief Executive Officer of Aplus.Net. "Aplus.Net is happy to offer our customers easy access to the best, time-proven bulletin board software around at no extra charge."

Bulletin boards (also known as forums) are used for all types of websites - from personal sites to high-end business sites. Businesses often implement the technology to save money on support costs, allowing customers to help each other under the supervision of content moderators. One such bulletin board, for the popular TiVo service, has over 83,000 registered members with several hundred online at any time.

The bulletin board software and service is available immediately to Aplus.Net customers at no monthly charge. There is no fee for those who install it themselves, and Aplus.Net can aid customers with installation for a minimal fee.
