shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by bbPress

bbPress is a forums software that makes it easy to create an online community on your website. This software was developed by the same people who make WordPress, which is the world’s most popular content management system. You can use this platform either to make a forums only website, or add it to any WordPress page without any trouble. The developers clearely wanted to keep things simple and efficient, and they did a great job with that goal.

Similar to the strategy used for WordPress, bbPress has only essential features bundled with the default install and the other options are added in using plugins. This makes it a little more time consuming up front, but in the long run it allows for a fast and efficient platform that doesn’t have any unwanted features. This platform is typically recommended for small to mid-sized communities with up to 10,000 members or 150,000 posts.

Initial Install
The actual installation process is extremely simple. You just go to your control panel for the InterServer hosting package you choose and install bbPress using the one-click scripts. Once it is installed, however, you will need to go through and make configuration changes to ensure everything is set up just the way you want. This includes finding and installing all the plugins you will want so your site has the needed features. This is not a big issue, but it is more time consuming than many other options out there.
Plugins
Just like WordPress, bbPress really shines when you take advantage of all the plugins that are available. Most of them are free, but there are some people who develop premium options for this platform. Installing them is very easy and you can enable or disable them as needed without any trouble. The plugin system really is one of the best things about bbPress.
Themes
There are seemingly endless numbers of themes available for bbPress. You can change the color, font, icons and anything else you want just by using a different theme. The admin panel also makes it really easy to find and install themes, which many people will like. There is no coding or programing knowledge required, which is excellent.
Customization
Most of the customization will be done using plugins and themes. While there are some settings that you can adjust to customize your website just with the default install, that is a small part of the overall ability of this platform. To make your forums all your own, you will want to take advantage of the plugins and themes for added customization.
SEO Friendly
Not surprisingly, bbPress does a great job with SEO. There may be some things you want to change from the default install, but that can easily be done with one of the many SEO plugins available. The forums allow the search engines to crawl all the new content, which is a big advantage for forums like this.
Cost of Running
You can use this platform for free. Most of the plugins and themes are also free. Overall, this is a very affordable option since the only real expenses will be any premium options you want and the cost of your web hosting. When you are just starting out, you will need to use just a shared hosting package from InterServer. Once your site starts getting hundreds or thousands of users on a regular basis, you will want to upgrade to a VPS or even a dedicated server. No matter the growth, however, InterServer hosting will help you to keep your costs down.
