Frequently asked questions

What exactly is Flarum?

Flarum is the next generation of forum software. It is a modern, open-source platform built to be incredibly lightweight and fast. Unlike clunky old-school forums, Flarum offers a streamlined, mobile-first interface that makes discussions feel like a real-time chat. It is the perfect engine for creators looking to build engaged, high-performance communities.

Is the Flarum software free to use?

Yes! Flarum is 100% free and open-source software. You can download and modify the code without paying any licensing fees. However, while the software is free, you still need a place to “live” on the internet—which is where our hosting services come in to keep your site online, secure, and fast.

What is specialized Flarum Hosting?

Flarum Hosting refers to a server environment that has been specifically tuned to run Flarum at its best. Rather than using a generic web host, Flarum Hosting provides the exact PHP extensions, database configurations, and caching protocols (like Redis) that the software needs. This ensures your community loads instantly and remains stable, even when traffic spikes.

Why should I choose dedicated Flarum Hosting over standard hosting?

Standard hosting is often “one size fits all,” which can lead to slow load times and compatibility errors for Flarum. By choosing Metanow’s specialized hosting, you get infrastructure that is pre-configured for your forum’s specific needs. We handle the technical heavy lifting—including speed optimization, security firewalls, and updates—so you can focus entirely on managing your community rather than fixing server bugs.

Effortless community moderation

Experience a hosting dashboard engineered specifically for modern discussion platforms. Our intuitive Control Panel gives you powerful tools to scale your community and manage extensions, allowing you to spend less time on server maintenance and more time engaging with your members.
