Huh?
He does not need a server. He doesn't need to host anything.
He needs to visit alt.config and learn how to issue proper control posts,
and then persuade all the NSPs to carry the group, and then persuade people
to use the group.

Assuming he wants someone else to host/look after it yes.......

Wow thanks everyone for your input. I was thinking of making a
newsgroup related to my school, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC),
but i'm probably better off with a messageboard or something. I didn't
know there was so many steps to go through to have a newsgroup, so i'll
just stick with something through good ol html.

Take a look at Google's new group-making setup; not newsgroups, but on
Google itself. It's in beta, but it might be worth taking a chance on.

there actually aren't, but "they" want you to think there are. if you
change your mind and decide that you *do want an alt.* or free.*
newsgroup, drop me a line and i'll create it for you.

fair enough.
If he wants one newsgroup on one server then he needs INN.

On topic for this group, but perhaps a bit confusing for the OP.

The creation of newsgroups is difficult enough. What can be very much
more difficult is getting propagation of those newsgroups to the wider
internet community.

Can't be all that hard - look at the unbelievable number of alt.bearshit
groups... not to mention a lot of the binary trash...
