Interserver provides
shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by Phorum
Phorum is a platform for making forums based websites. The word Phorum is actually Latin for forum,
which is where they got their name. The initial development of this system started way back in 1998,
making it one of the oldest and most well-established options still in development today. It is coded
using PHP and the database type it uses is MySQL, which is pretty standard for these types of websites.
It is made to be able to run on a variety of types of web servers and operating systems, which makes it a
great option for most web masters.
The system is very powerful and is said to be an ideal option for huge forum communities. It can be
great for smaller communities too of course, but if you have a site that is drawing 100,000+ members
and millions of posts, this is one of the better options to consider. The developers of this system are still
working on updates, fixes and expansions to help keep this platform running smoothly for their users.
