Private hosting for community forums.
Keep the conversations, member accounts and years of uploads together. Tell us about your forum and we’ll work through the server, email and migration requirements with you.
Discuss your hostingSize the forum around its busiest hours
Send the forum software and version, database size, upload storage and current server use. Include busy periods and any search or background jobs. Member count alone won’t tell us how much memory the site needs.
Choose a plan with room for the discussion
Published VPS plans cost $400, $500 or $600/month. Compare their memory and storage with your current use, or ask for a Specialized Protected Hosting quote for your forum.
Tell us who handles updates and moderation, and which server tasks you want in the quote. We’ll confirm software compatibility, support and any requested complaint-handling arrangement before you order.
Bring the email and backups into the move
Password resets and member notifications need a working email service. Keep your existing provider or ask about xUID mailboxes, including sending requirements.
Keep a fresh backup of the database and uploads. Before changing DNS, test sign-in, posting, attachments and outgoing mail on the new setup. Your existing domain can stay with its current provider.
Common questions
Can you host the forum software I already use?
