As I responded in the conversation, XF is not a hosted solution.

We only supply the forum software so you would also need to separately purchase a domain (URL) and hosting (server) in order to install it.

"We Only Supply The forum software" But Where can I access that Once It's bought.

 

[Paul B]

XF is forum software.

You have to install it somewhere in order to use it.

By Install It Does that mean download it to my Computer or?

WAIT @Brogan So You mean I would have to find a Hosting Website Paste the files in to use it? I'm Confused I should be able to access it right after I buy it

Alright @Brogan Thank you so much for Helping me! I have found out what you mean. I have ONE Last Question. When I buy the License I am giving the files Then I upload them onto a web host. Right?

 

[Paul B]

That's correct.

Once you purchase XF, you download the files from your customer area, then upload them to your host's server and install the software.

 

[Zalbus]

That's correct.

Once you purchase XF, you download the files from your customer area, then upload them to your host's server and install the software.

And All I need to Buy is the License. Correct? If I want to buy add ons I can Buy If I just want a forums I need to buy JUST The License.

 

[Paul B]

Correct.

 

[Zalbus]

Correct.

Alright Thank you for helping me! Have a Great Night!

Also the files will be their After I buy it right? Sorry for so many Questions!

Once you have purchased a license, your account will have access to download the associated licenses you have purchased (the main script and any 1st party add-ons).
You simply go to the https://xenforo.com page and click on the Customers link and then log in using your credentials.

When choosing a host , make sure they meet the requirements of the software.
