Choose how ForumForge runs
Hosted is managed for you. Self-hosted costs more because you get access to the source code and run ForumForge on your own servers.
Choose Self-hosted if…
- You need ForumForge source code on your infrastructure
- Your team already runs production servers
- You want full control of hosting, scaling, and deployment
We run ForumForge for you — hosting, backups, and updates included. Best if you want to launch without managing servers.

FAQ
Common questions
Self-hosted includes access to the ForumForge source code so you can run and operate the platform on your own infrastructure. Hosted is cheaper because we operate the software for you — you do not receive source access.
