  • Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

Sanguine I couldn't even tell you. I suppose it would depend on if ads will still be included in the domain part and if you do a tier structure. I would have to look at some other services and kind of compare and then make the options cheaper than the services that are already out there. Also, if you have a domain with another hosting company, would you be able to just punch in the dns numbers to have it forwarded to your host, or would the domains need to be hosted with you? A service like this seems like it would be very nice. Then you don't have to purchase a web hosting plan from those bigger hosting companies.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. There are so many options and a lot of things to consider when coming up with a price. Of course, once the research is done, maybe it won't be hard at all.

    Cheers! I decided to not charge anything unless forums use significant server / support resources (i.e. beyond the fair use policy of 5 times the average).

    So I am working on a control panel that would allow import/export and custom domains. Which feature would you like first? Re custom domains: you would just have to configure the DNS.

      I usually host my domains elsewhere and wouldn't like to change that. Having the ability to just configure my DNS settings and having the flarum hosting recognising my domains and associate them with my flarum instance seems to be great. Not for me, as I don't plan to use your offer, but for other likeminded people.

      And there was much rejoicing

      FreeFlarum (beta) now supports custom domains

      A new SETTINGS section is live at FreeFlarum where you can hook up your own domain with your Free Flarum. A few notes:

      1. You can login with your forum name and a Flarum admin password. NB every admin can login, so be careful who you hand out admin roles to!
      2. Custom names work for domains, such as discuss.yourname.com. Setup: go to your domain provider and add a DNS CNAME record pointing to yourname.freeflarum.com. Then go to FreeFlarum settings and enter your domain name.
      3. Only 1 domain name can be active at any time. If you set up a custom name, visitors of yourname.freeforum.com will automatically be redirected.
      4. A LetsEncrypt SSL cert for your domain will automatically get registered.

      Have fun!

        Sanguine I'm actually impressed with the enthusiasm you have towards this. Good luck.

          Antoine Installed! Also made a PR on your money ext to add a URL so people can actually click through for more information.

            Ralkage Yep, Avatar4eg transliterator adds functionality of Behat transliterator. The transliterator that i posted is based on WordPress transliterator (modern and bulletproof).

                ReFlar/ReDevs would like to mention your services on our website if you allow such things ?

                I'm redoing our entire website and I think free sponsorship is something we'd like to look into until we get money rolling in and then take it to the next level (future investing?).

                  Much appreciated!

                      FreeFlarum now uses Mailgun high quality email delivery

                      Because Hotmail (and only Hotmail) kept classifying our signup mails as spam, I've decided to forget about building IP reputation myself and plugged in Mailgun. It works like a charm. So as of today, Mailgun integration is available to all registered forums, free of charge!

                        Sanguine hotmail hates me as well. Even banned my IP for a week for no reason at all. ? I'm using sendgrid now.
