Managed phpBB, looked after for you
phpBB forums attract spam and old forums run old versions. We keep them updated, quiet and backed up, and the forum stays useful for members.
phpBB: what we look after
- phpBB and extension updates with a backup first
- Anti-spam and sign-up protection
- Cache and database tuning for large forums
- Backups of the database and attachments
When phpBB goes wrong
- Spam posts and fake members
- Slow pages on a forum with millions of posts
- Attachments lost after a move
Who uses managed phpBB
Communities with long-running forums and many members.
What it needs
PHP, MySQL or MariaDB and 1 to 2 GB of RAM.
What we check first
Before we change anything on a new phpBB setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:
- The phpBB version and the path from it to the current one
- Which spam and sign-up protections are active
- The size of the attachments folder and the database
From order to a watched phpBB setup
phpBB is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.
Tell us what you run
Order a managed plan and list your servers and the apps on them, or write to us first with questions.
We look before we touch
We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.
Backups and watching first
Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.
Then the steady work
Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.
Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server. GST is added at checkout. See all managed plans.
phpBB support: your questions answered
Can you update a very old phpBB?

Do you handle email for notifications?
Yes. We check the mail settings so notifications arrive.
Is phpBB covered by the managed plans?
