One-Click Installation
Choose your forum software and deploy in seconds. Our Softaculous-powered installer handles database creation, file extraction, and initial configuration automatically — no terminal access needed.
Core Features
Free SSL / HTTPS
Every forum gets a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, auto-renewed. Your members' logins and posts are always encrypted. Google also ranks HTTPS sites higher — so your community is more discoverable.
Unlimited Bandwidth
We never meter or throttle your traffic. Whether you get 100 visits a month or 100,000, your bandwidth bill is always zero. Viral threads won't bring down your forum or hit you with overage fees.
500MB Free Storage
500MB is plenty for a thriving text-based community forum. Thousands of threads, user avatars, and attachments comfortably fit. Need more? Upgrade to our Growth plan for 5GB, or Enterprise for 25GB.
99.9% Uptime SLA
We host on enterprise-grade infrastructure in Montreal, Canada, with redundant systems and proactive monitoring. Your community is online when your members need it — day or night.
DDoS Protection
Cloudflare-powered DDoS mitigation keeps your forum online even under attack. Your community stays accessible while malicious traffic is filtered automatically at the network edge.
Custom Domain (Premium)
Point your own domain to your forum — community.yourbrand.com instead of a shared subdomain. Available on Growth and Enterprise plans. Full DNS documentation included.
8 Forum Platforms
phpBB, MyBB, SMF, Flarum, Vanilla Forums, FluxBB, PunBB, and bbPress — all available with one-click install. Switch platforms by creating a new install (data migration guides available).
Email Notifications
Forum software email functions work out of the box. Members receive registration confirmations, password resets, subscription alerts, and moderator notifications without any extra configuration.
