Web Hosting for XenForo - Requirements & Providers

XenForo is a commercial software solution used for creating internet forums. We provide information on the technical requirements and introduce suitable XenForo hosting providers in a price comparison.

What is XenForo?

XenForo, compared to other forum software, is relatively new in the market. The first stable sales version was released in 2011. The project was initiated by developers Kier Darby and Mike Sullivan, who had previously worked on the vBulletin community platform. XenForo stands out for its modern design, user-friendly administration interface, and excellent search engine optimization capabilities. The standard license costs 140 USD and includes a 12-month maintenance contract with ticket support and upgrades. This can be renewed for an additional year at a cost of 40 USD after the initial term.

Requirements for XenForo Hosting

To run XenForo, the hosting provider's server must support PHP. Additionally, at least one MySQL or MariaDB database is required. Various web servers like Apache, Nginx, or Microsoft's IIS that support PHP and MySQL can be used. To ensure smooth operation, the PHP memory limit should be at least 256 MB. The disk space required on the server depends on the size of the community. As the forum gains more active participants, the required storage increases. Especially with additional data such as image uploads, several GB of storage space should be anticipated.

For more details on the technical requirements of XenForo hosting, refer to the table below:
 

Technical Requirements for XenForo
PHP Version PHP 5.4.0
Databases MySQL 5.5
MariaDB
Web Server Apache, NGINX, IIS
PHP Memory Limit 256 MB
PHP Extensions MySQLi, GD, PCRE, SPL, SimpleXML
DOM, JSON, iconv, ctype
PHP Settings safe_mode OFF
