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

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?).

              Oops, Sunday evening deployment gone awry. Fixed it right away.

              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.

                      Felli I like it, but the extensions section of the admin dashboard wouldn't work. Hosted Flarums cannot modify the code (for the sake of security and maintenance).

                        I see "FreeFlarum aims to be self-sufficient by running a small amount of ads on the provided forums and charging a fee for larger forums (>100 users)." on About page.
                        Is that mean if my forum users over 100 then I cound't use freeflarum free anymore?

                          YohoYang Yes for now. However I am researching the option to keep larger forums free as well. It depends on the ad revenue, which I haven't implemented yet.

                          Guarantee: if, at any point, you are unhappy with FreeFlarum.com, you can always download your forum data and host it elsewhere.

                            And.... Today when I'm config extensions, the flarum was broken.
                            Maybe we need a "reset" button on control panel.
