Installing

How long does it take to install XenForo?

After I buy a license can I download it right away?

As soon as the payment clears (PayPal sometime hold payments for review) you will have the license.

Installation takes a couple of minutes if you have cPanel.

Thanks!

Have you decided to go for self hosted instead of XFC then?

 

[Resolute]

Yes, I think I am going self-hosted, as I am not sure when they will contact me for Cloud. I want to get my forum up and going.

Does the forum come with the ability to use the blog/article threads out of the box? I want to use it for a blog too after installing.

I was going to use vBulletin but after looking here and there, this place seems way more active and more forums seem to be using XenForo than anything else I have found...at least for the niche I am making my forum in.

I just purchased, now do I download the one that says 2.2.7 Patch 1?

Article threads are standard functionality.
