This might sound like a stupid question but.....

Hey I am new and am thinking of buying xenForo. But I just wanted to ask, when you buy xenforo do you have to download it and install it into a website you already have? or can you make it online with no download and have it Hosted here like with phpBB?
Thanks...

You have to download and install it on your own server/hosted web space. Xenforo does not offer a hosted site service.

Thanks... What is the best way to make a site to install it on?

Buy a domain and buy hosting, I reccomend hawkhost
