Ok so right now im running a forum on forumer which is free. Anyone know a good place for me to start looking cause i want to expand and make a website where i can upload content onto the server for my members to download. As well as have a good forum. Please Let me know. Thanks...

Look for a host with Fantastico support. After that, setting up that forum would be a breeze..

Use Joomla. You can get cheap Joomla hosting for like $6 a month. http://www.joomla.org
