Everything included

A complete platform, on every plan.

Every BuildFormStudio forum is a full MyBB install with the same platform behind it. Plans change the size, support speed and custom domains — never the feature set.

Deploy & access

Live in a minute — with the keys

Instant deploy

From plan to a live, fully-provisioned MyBB forum in under a minute.

Full SFTP access

Real file access to your install — themes, plugins, templates and configs.

In-browser file manager

Browse, edit and upload files right from your dashboard — no client needed.

One-click admin

Jump straight into the MyBB /admin/ panel from your dashboard — no password to retype.

Data & reliability

Your data, looked after

Web database manager

Open a full database manager in your browser — or connect any MySQL client with your credentials.

Managed updates

Apply new MyBB releases automatically or get notified — your choice, per forum.

Backups & one-click restore

Automatic nightly offsite snapshots — plus take your own one-click snapshot before a risky change, then restore in a click if anything goes sideways.

Export anytime

Download a full backup of files and database whenever you want. No lock-in, ever.

Handled for you

The ops you'd rather not think about

Email that arrives

Registration, password-reset and notification mail goes out through our managed relay — or send from your own domain. No SMTP wrangling, no spam-folder guessing.

Proactive alerts

We email you when it matters — a deploy finishing, storage running low, a backup or payment failing, an outage — so nothing important happens silently.

Recoverable delete

Delete a forum and it keeps running through a 7-day grace window — an accidental delete is one click to undo.

Network & security

Fast and safe by default

Free SSL

Automatic, auto-renewing HTTPS on every subdomain and custom domain.

Cloudflare edge

Every forum runs behind Cloudflare — global CDN, caching and DDoS protection.

Paid plans

Custom domains

Bring your own domain with guided DNS and managed SSL, on the global edge.

Hardened & isolated

Each forum runs in its own hardened, isolated container — patched for you.

Performance & flexibility

Built to scale with you

Forum Engine

A MyBB-tuned stack — full-page guest caching serves cached HTML from memory, so busy threads aren't rebuilt on every request.

PHP 8.2–8.5, per forum

Pick your PHP version and switch it in place from the Developer tab — no rebuild.

US-hosted

Every forum runs on dedicated hardware in the US.

Built-in support

Open a support ticket from your dashboard and hear back by email.

Built for speed

A forum that stays fast under load

Every forum runs our MyBB-optimized engine — full-page caching for guests and OPcache + JIT for everyone signed in — so a surge of readers is served from memory instead of rebuilt on every request.

In our load tests, with 200 requests arriving at once, the same forum on the same hardware answered in 63 milliseconds with the cache on and 7.8 seconds with it off — the difference between absorbing a traffic spike and buckling under it. (Signed-in members always get a freshly rendered page.)

Guests are served fully cached HTML straight from memory — the web server just hands back bytes.

Signed-in members always get a freshly rendered page (precompiled PHP in memory) — the speedup is for guest reads.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes. Every forum is a complete MyBB install with the full platform — Forum Engine, SSL, SFTP, web database manager, backups, updates and the Cloudflare edge. Plans differ by size (CPU, RAM, storage), backup retention (daily restore points on every plan; weekly and monthly added on higher tiers), support speed, and connecting your own custom domain (a paid-plan perk).
