Would you expect Microsoft to install your programs?  Would you expect Mozilla to hold your email?  No, you'd download the software and install it on your own and install your own programs, and retrieve your own email through Thunderbird.  Likewise, SMF should host free SMF sites... they provide you with the software to download and create your own on your own web server. (Maybe not the best analogies, but you get the idea)

It really seems that you are very very very new to the whole web designing/hosting thing... let me try and at least get you started in the right direction...

First and foremost... www.google.com (the best resource EVER)
http://build-website.com/
http://www.learnthenet.com/english/section/webpubl.html
http://www.buildwebsite4u.com/

The above links explain domains, hosting, simple page design, ftp, and more.  I think you really should get a grasp on those concepts (infact, I think anyone should before diving into a forum, or at any other sort of advanced web site), before attempting large scale applications.

Thanks Matt, I've been working on a similar post for Marcus, and others, but you beat me to it!!

Perhaps something like this needs to be placed on the doc site as a, 'Must Read Before Posting', topic, so that people who do not understand how the web works can get a little insight before attempting to install SMF etc.

Marcus...

do you even know what CSS or XHTML mean?
those are not something that a host offers...

and I doubt that mysmf offers ftp access...
