To put £0.99 in context

What else costs less than a pound a month?

Not much. For less than the cost of a single stamp, you get complete ownership of your community — no algorithm, no ads, no Zuckerberg. Here's how £0.99/month compares to a few other ways people spend money on their communities.

Everything included

No surprises. No add-ons. No asterisks.

Every feature below is included in your plan from day one. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier — because there is no higher tier. This is the plan.

💾
2GB NVMe SSD Storage
All your forum data — threads, posts, member profiles, attachments — stored on lightning-fast NVMe solid-state drives. Noticeably faster than traditional SSD or HDD storage, particularly for database-heavy forum software.
🌐
Unlimited Bandwidth
No traffic caps, no throttling, no overage charges — ever. Your forum keeps loading fast for every member whether you have 10 people browsing or 10,000. We never penalise you for having an active, growing community.
📧
1 Email Account
One professional email account on your custom domain — perfect for admin notifications, member contact and support. Set up hello@yourforum.com or any address you choose, managed through webmail or your email client.
🔒
Free SSL Certificate
A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is provisioned automatically for your domain and renewed without any action from you. Your forum runs over HTTPS from day one — trusted by browsers, required by modern forum software, included at no cost.
💿
Daily Automated Backups
Your entire hosting environment — files, database, configuration — is backed up every day. If anything ever goes wrong, your forum can be restored quickly. Your community's history is safe regardless of what happens.
🌍
Custom Domain Support
Run your forum on your own domain name. Point your DNS to Nexforum, let us know your domain, and we configure everything — including SSL. Your community gets a proper address that belongs to your brand, not a hosting subdomain.
🖱️
One-Click Forum Install
Softaculous is included in every plan. Install any of 8 forum platforms in under 60 seconds — phpBB, MyBB, SMF, FluxBB, Vanilla Forums, PunBB, bbPress or Flarum. No manual database setup, no file uploads, no configuration.
🛡️
DDoS Protection
Network-level DDoS mitigation is built into Nexforum's infrastructure. Your forum stays online and accessible even if it comes under pressure from automated attacks — no extra setup or cost required.
🚫
Zero Ads — Guaranteed
Nexforum is completely ad-free. No third-party advertisements are ever injected into your community. Your members see only your content — not paid promotions, not retargeting pixels, not sponsored posts. This is unconditional and permanent.

What our customers say

Communities that made the move.

★★★★★

"£0.99 a month is almost laughably good value. I was paying £6 a month to a generic host for a forum that loaded slowly and came with a free SSL as an 'add-on' I had to manually renew. Nexforum is faster, cheaper and everything just works out of the box."

Daniel F.
Gaming community, 5,400 members
★★★★★

"The 30-day free trial was the deciding factor. No card, no commitment — I could set up phpBB properly, move my members across from Facebook and know I loved it before spending a single penny. I've been on the paid plan for four months now. Not a single issue."

Karen M.
Craft community, 4,000 members
★★★★★

"I'd been putting off leaving our Facebook group for years because of the perceived hassle and cost. Turns out the hassle was minimal and the cost is 99p. My members are happier, the discussions are richer and I actually own what we've built. Should have done it years ago."

Pricing questions

Everything you need to know about the plan.

Is the free trial really free — no credit card at all?
Yes, completely. You sign up and your 30-day free trial starts immediately with no payment details required. We only ask for billing information when your trial ends and you decide to continue. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are never charged anything.
What happens if I go over 2GB of storage?
We'll notify you if your forum approaches the storage limit. Most text-based forums with tens of thousands of posts use well under 500MB — 2GB is generous for the vast majority of communities. If you do need more storage, contact us and we can discuss options.
Is bandwidth really unlimited? What's the catch?
There is no catch. We impose no bandwidth limits on Nexforum accounts. Your forum will never be throttled for receiving too much traffic, and you will never receive a bill for bandwidth overages. This applies to all plans, permanently.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Cancel any time from your ClientExec billing portal with a single click. There are no cancellation fees, no notice periods and no lock-in contracts. If you cancel mid-month, your forum remains active until the end of the paid period.
How is billing handled?
Billing is handled entirely by Stripe — one of the world's most trusted payment processors. Your card details are stored and processed by Stripe, never by Nexforum. You'll receive an email receipt each month and can manage your billing details through your ClientExec portal at any time.
Will the price go up?
We have no plans to increase pricing. At £0.99/month we're intentionally priced to be so affordable that cancelling because of cost never crosses your mind. Any future pricing changes would be communicated with significant notice and would not affect existing customers without their agreement.
Do you offer refunds?
Given the 30-day free trial, refunds are rarely requested — but if you encounter a genuine issue with our service after your trial ends, contact us and we'll deal with it fairly. We'd rather make things right than have an unhappy customer.
Is there a discount for paying annually?
We currently offer monthly billing only. At £0.99/month the annual cost is £11.88 — which is already so low that we felt an annual discount tier would add unnecessary complexity. One simple price, billed monthly, cancel any time.

30 days free. Then £0.99/mo. That's it.

No card required. No tiers. No ads. No algorithm. Just your community, owned by you.
