Just to a look at iPage.
here are some questions I ask to make sure they are up to snuf hosting
1. do they use cPanel for management? (cPanel is great host management)
2. do they allow "Innodb" engine types in databases? (some lock you at MyISAM only)
3. do they allow SMTP access from php apps? (I use xpertmailer)
4. do they allow remote access into databases admin? (I use Navicat for Mysql)
5. do they allow unlimited sub-domains? (I setup test sites for my customers under sub like custname.domain.com)
if they pass these questions then they are good host
I recommend hostgator.
I do emailing from my php apps and when I first tried them out they would let me run a smtp plug in I use all the time for emailing called "xpertmailer" you have to use these arcane scripts. (note: this might have changed since i tried them)
also hostgator, still has spam blocker setup, where as bluehost dropped it for this month spam blocking fee.
also, I just recently integrated punbb into a site where the user is managed by the site and not punbb and i have it auto creating forums. so can help some with hacking
Nevermind,
I have solved, this, I have have done the integration using punBB and help from current posts of this forum.
it is working quite well, thx to devs for making this available
I was under the impression this was it 
Support forum denotes you paid for the software, with punBB being free, so you will have to post your support questions here and hope someone answers it. 
water marking is one way...
another way is to create just a transparent image and then use the real image as background=.
this way when they right click they just download the transparent image
I'm looking for a forum that I can install and interface totally with programming with site I am working on.
here are the things I need.
1. to be able to create forum sub sections via PHP, basically the PHP code would be the admin for this section and sub-sections
2. to be able to create accounts via php.
3. be able to link to a specific sub-section in the forum and auto-login user under my site.
Well, downloaded and installed on my test server.
brings up new question.
