Again, it depends on if you're running it off of a host (ex. NetFirms or something like that) or if you have your own server or you're hosting it yourself.

I got this to work so there is no problem with that.

The new problem is that it won't send out an authorization email to new users when the register, and it won't send out emails to the users that have the notification box checked. Do I need an email server for that or what?

First, set up an email address to use as admin through 100webspace.com.

Then in phpbb go to general > configuration, enter the email address at the bottom of the page,
then select 'yes' at "Use SMTP Server for email" and enter your ISP's smtp server details.
