Hello everyone,
Would you like to create a community around a passion, a game, a personal project, or even an association, without having to worry about technical requirements or hosting costs?
Discover phpBBHost, a free forum hosting service based on the open-source phpBB software. The goal of this personal project is simple: to give everyone their own customizable, feature-rich discussion space without having to install, configure, or maintain a server.
A dedicated forum for your community
At a time when social networks and major platforms play an important role in online communication, phpBBHost offers an alternative for those who want to build a community around a traditional forum. Thanks to phpBB, you benefit from a structured space where discussions remain organized, accessible, and easy to find. Whether you are an enthusiast, an association representative, or a community creator, phpBBHost lets you focus on what matters most: your members and your discussions.
The benefits of phpBBHost
Completely free hosting
phpBBHost is free and is intended to remain that way. To help cover infrastructure costs and support the development of the project, advertising spaces may appear on hosted forums. These spaces may be used to promote phpBBHost communities, technology-related services or events, and to display advertisements from advertising networks such as Google AdSense. The goal is to maintain a balance between funding the service and providing a comfortable user experience, with a preference for advertising that does not interfere with navigation.
Forum creation upon request
To maintain service quality, prevent abuse, and combat spam, every forum creation request is subject to approval.
The process is simple:
A few technical details
phpBBHost is based on a customized version of the open-source phpBB software. The version presented here includes phpBB 3.3.19 and the official prosilver style. Some features have been adapted to meet the platform's specific needs. As a result, extensions and styles designed for a standard phpBB installation may not necessarily be compatible. Available customization options and features remain subject to the technical capabilities of the service, as well as its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which are accessible from the hosted forums.
