But I don't know how to start a forum "From scratch".. I'm not trying to copy LiveWire.. LW has the purpose of providing support and it's for teens and college students.. My forum will be for people of ALL ages and we will talk mainly about my art things and about the issues in the world and entertainment.. Anyways, I don't know a single bit about making websites.. I would love to have a forum in my website, but I don't want it to depend on a forum hosting website that MIGHT be deleted someday, or shut down. So, in a summary, how do I make a forum on an official website?

Do not use them if you want to sleep at night knowing your domain is safe. I recommend NearlyFreeSpeech.net. Probably the cheapest hosting on the Web, but also the best for a shared host, and you can buy your domain from them. Just install PunBB and you'll have a forum. dreamweaver Posted at 9:19 pm on Dec. 25, 2008 Personally, if I was an artist and wanted to communicate with fans and such... I wouldn't start with a forum. Start with a website and even a few fansites. MySpace and Facebook is a couple good places to start with. Then I would purchase a domain name (godaddy.com is a good place to start finding one and cheap as well). Then just use a free (or simply cheap) web hosting site to create the contents of the site, to include updates, pictures, show dates, music previews (or free mp3s), videos, and a guestbook on it.
