Updated: 15 January 2026
We have streamlined our hosting model to better serve high-growth communities. To simplify our offerings, we have retired the previous entry-level tier and shifted our focus toward high-performance, resource-guaranteed infrastructure.
What’s changed? Our plans have been renamed and reorganized. If you were previously on a higher tier, your features and resource allocations remain the same—only the name of your plan has changed to reflect our new "NEST, ROBIN, AERIE" structure.
Every community now sits on an isolated, resource-guaranteed infrastructure with dedicated database clustering. Your forum is no longer fighting for resources on a shared server; it sits on its own private "island."
🚀 Key Technical Features
- Valkey Powered Performance: We have officially transitioned from standard Redis to Valkey. This next-gen engine ensures your caching and session handling are faster and more reliable than ever.
- Laravel Horizon Dashboard: No more "black box" background tasks. All clients get instant access to a Horizon dashboard (
/admin/horizon) to monitor emails, notifications, and background jobs in real-time.
- Automated Email Outbox: Forget the headache of configuring 3rd party SMTP. Every plan includes a built-in Email Outbox ready for immediate use.
- Unlimited Uploads: We leverage high-speed Cloudflare R2 storage. Your media is served globally at elite speeds, and your growth is never capped by local disk space.
- Full Extension Manager: You have full control over your community. Install and manage your ecosystem exactly how you want it.
