I do not think that would be possible. You always have money back guarantee with the host so you can try.

Hi,

yes you can create a site / forum like phpBB 3 on your VPS - but a (unmanaged) vps is not like "normal" webspace! Because you have to install a webserver (like Apache, lighttpd, nginx, etc), databases ( mysql,..), ftp, etc. You should care about your server security and having some linux knowledge.

Some german sites are offering free trial vps: https://order.server4you.de/pages/vserver-trial/ (4 days trial)

why would you need a VPS for a simple forum?

There's lots of shared hosting services out there that would gladly host a PHPBB3 forum for you free of charge. The services of a VPS are usually only needed for content with a complex configuration or special requirements such as a game server or custom service, regular websites like blogs and forums are well suited to shared hosting.

Elaborating on the idea: Also for Web Hosting, which allows you to host other people, ect. (( cost alot more than shared hosting )), or stream live radio (( which also cost alot ))

Put a '.htaccess' file with the following contents:
DirectoryIndex phpBB3/index.php

Or use page redirects from CPanel to redirect automatically to your forum path.

You could have just installed phpbb3 in the root directory as well
