About FreeFlarum

FreeFlarum is a hosted service for creating a Flarum discussion forum. Users pick a domain and a template, pass a robot check, and then receive an email with a link to set the password for their admin account. The homepage advertises a one-click installation finished in under five minutes. Flarum, the forum software the service runs, is described as an open source forum framework.

The service handles maintenance tasks such as patches and upgrades, provides SSL protection on every forum, and makes daily backups to an offsite location, meaning forum content is also held outside the user's own environment. Extensions are included out of the box, and users can ask for ones that are missing. Communities can export their data and move to another host. The site states the service is paid for by donations and lists no pricing tiers.
