most hosting sites have the forum software you can install. I don’t know much about go daddy, but… there should be some kind of admin login for it. That you can install software packages and go from there. or read into “Go daddy hosting and making forums” I’m sure that will come up in google if you try, being that godaddy is huge. you do have hosting… right? ---

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Hosting, all websites are kept on a host, which you pay for, like either by the month or by the year. You basically register your domain with a host and pay for a spot on thier server. ---
