Can I have chat rooms and forums on the "Personal" plan?

You can have the html or java chat, but the phpmychatroom will not work since it requires mySQL database support which is not part of the "Personal" plan. The icon is on cpanel, but the installation will fail.

You will also be unable to install the XMB forum on the cpanel for the same reason.

However, you are free to use any flat-file forum script (and there are many available) with this package, since CGI and PHP are supported.

We recommend that anyone seeking these advanced features consider upgrading to the "Economy" plan however. The price difference gives you more space and bandwidth, in addition to the database support
