WordPress

We recommend using WordPress for your blog, there really is no better blogging software available, and best of all .. it's free! If you have looked at a blog site, chances are that it was using WordPress, it presents you total control over every aspect of your blog content.
There are countless high quality websites where WordPress users of all experience levels can exchange ideas and provide relative and working support.  Add-on functions and new themes can be downloaded from WordPress dedicated websites.

Forums

Web forums can be adapted and set-up to fulfil a surprising number of roles.  Most common is a simple social area for people to meet on-line discussing sports, lifestyle, technology, politics, the environment ... the list could go on forever.  We have used web forums that have been successfully transformed into business customer service & support areas, image galleries for amateur and professional artists, platforms to allow software developers to offer application delivery and we are sure there are still many ways of using web forums not yet developed, maybe YOU have the next "big step" in forum use.

Simple Machines Forum

RaceHost commonly use SMF as our base software.  As with WordPress there is a massive amount of user development going on behind the scenes to help your domain grow and expand to meet your site visitors needs.  Scottish Curling Forum is a good example of how some simple additions to a SMF forum can create an in depth vibrant on-line community with a good mixture of static information based content along side the fast paced conversation.
