Is self-hosted right for you?
How much can you do for yourself?
If you have the time and expertise to manage your own web server, and you are comfortable installing and updating software on your infrastructure, you could consider hosting XenForo yourself.
Please ensure that your hosting infrastructure meets the minimum requirements before purchasing.
Configure your license
Choose components to suit your community
Self-hosted packages grant lifetime use and access to customer support and all software updates released within the 12 months after purchase.
Each package contains the core XenForo software, along with any add-on products you select. You may expand your package with more add-on products at any time.
