Anyway, I just got my free Cpanel thing.. and it doesn't make any sense to me at all!

I have absolutely no clue what PGP keys, Cron Jobs, SSL manager ect are.

A list of their meanings in english would be very helpful.

Or alternatively, a list of stuff to click/install to create a forum would also be very handy to computing amatuers like me.

It's quite geeky down there, to make a forum:
1. Login
2. Under preinsalled scripts, click PHPBB
3. Go ahead.


PGP = Encryption, see their website (http://www.pgp.com/) for more info

Cron Jobs allow you to run UNIX commands ever hour, half hour, day etc. Unless you know what a UNIX command is, you probably don't need to know.

SSL is the tecnoligy behind https:// SSL manager allows you to start these up, I don't think it is all enabled here

https://
Stands for "HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure."

And as for the forums, don't listen to him. Get SMF instead (it's in CPanel).

To find SMF (as you are probably confused - Find Fantastico under preinstalled scripts, and then find SMF under forums, and then follow the instructions on the right)
