Can I run a forum with you? (e.g. phpBB)
Yes, you can easily run a forum on a hosting package at WebOké. Well-known forum software such as phpBB can be installed without any technical knowledge using Installatron in DirectAdmin. Other forum software works too, as long as it runs on PHP and MySQL (MariaDB).
Here's how to install a forum:
- Log in to DirectAdmin and, under Extra Features, click Installatron Applications Installer.
- Type phpBB in the search field, or find the forum in the Applications Browser, and click + install this application.
- Choose the domain, and optionally a subfolder such as
forum. Installatron creates the database automatically.
A busy forum with lots of visitors puts more demand on your package. If you notice the forum getting slow, read My website is slow or uses too much CPU.
