phpBB Hosting FAQ

While phpBB is one of the most lightweight and flexible “flat” open-source forums available today, we've found that many users tend to have questions concerning it and how Arvixe's phpBB hosting works.

Below are some of the more frequent questions we have asked. If your question isn't on this list, feel free to contact us to have it answered.

How Much Technical Knowledge is Needed to Use Arvixe's phpBB Hosting?
Unlike other hosting providers, we ensure that you need to only know how to push a button to install phpBB for your website. We automatically install a pre-configured and optimized version of phpBB when you begin your phpBB hosting with us.

What phpBB Modifications and Styles Can Be Used?
phpBB has hundreds of thousands of modifications and styles released. Arvixe puts very few restrictions on the ones that you can use. We generally only disallow certain phpBB files that will negatively affect the overall server performance.

If you find that your modification or style doesn't work, then contact our customer support to see what can be done.

How Much Traffic Can Arvixe's phpBB Hosting Handle?
The amount of traffic that our servers can handle is greatly increased from the start due to the heavy amount of optimization that we have done.

If you find that your hosting plan isn't enough, you can always switch to a plan with more resources. We have shared, VPS, dedicated and cloud hosting, which means that our hosting can handle almost any amount of traffic that you can throw at it.
