    Dragonmount is (i believe) self-hosted on servers that Jason runs. The forum software alone is roughly 200$+ whatever upgrades and hosting costs in addition to. That is why the forum has ads to help compensate the cost. 

     

    Running online forum, or any system, is a pricy thing. In addition to the costs it also takes time to build the structure, the background for the RP story you are hosting, and then if you want to go beyond the default things, having someone make it pretty.

     

    I personally use Jcink.net for my needs, because having to update forums with self-hosting is a PITA, so for new or experienced I will always point to something that is not self hosted. There are lots of resources through tumblr if you search Jcink there. 

     

    I have spent years building RP structures under multiple genre's and it takes a lot of trial and error to find what works for you and your players. If this is something you are seriously interested in running, I recommend looking for players in your immediate circle and see if they want to share in the experience. A site started with just one person who is interesting in contributing never succeeds. So, start by finding a team of interested people and go from there. ?
