Question about NodeBB Pricing

[psychobunny]

Hey, feel free to reach out to us personally at [email protected], that said I'll try to answer your questions here:

how much are you charged for your first time?

The smallest plan is $100 per month there is no installation charge.

If you don't give your monthly pay what happens, will your forum be shutdown completely?

At worst if you are a few weeks behind we will just temporarily disable. We'll keep your data intact. Also if you decide to move to your own self-hosting (see next point) we will provide you the database backup.

Or is there any cheaper way to get NodeBB?

Well NodeBB is open source, so if you were to decide to host it yourself you're more than free to do so.

[Aureney]

Oh. So where's the source and how you do host it yourself? (Sorry I'm a bit newbie)

[pichalite]

@Piercionium here's the source... https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB

Documentation to help with installation... https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os.html

You can try digital ocean for hosting.
Use this link to get a month free
You can apply 10TOSHIP coupon to get two months free.

@Piercionium You can host it yourself but If you pay nodebb.org you will support the community witch is good

I myself use this but digitalocean.com (You will get 10$ if signingup thru that link) is quite good to!

I don't know witch hosting provider does give the best performance / money Feel free to discuss

[Kowlin]

@Jenkler Hhmm, best performance for your money... Your very own personal server can beat that. Besides that Digital Ocean is a good option.

[julian]

@Jenkler Wow a server for $1.25... that's a new one.

[Jenkler]

@julian Yeah, the prices drops for every month. Soon it will be free hosting

[Aureney]

Well, I'm more used to PHP and SQL because I've been in MyBB before... But I'm not really sure for NodeBB hosting..

[Aureney]

Oh, and just interested what font do you use for the categories? I'm trying to find some font like that and I already tried Arial and Verdana and fonts like those.

@Piercionium Roboto by google

[Jenkler]

Thanks guys!

I saw that someone has signed up through my digitalocean link. I Think they have a great deal. 2 Month for free if you have a small site and If you run a Minecraft server as I do (minecraft.freegame.nu) you maybe need the 20$ och 10$ package depending on plugins.

Check put my docker images here: Gentoo for the win

I will fix docker packages for NodeBB as soon as I get the time, It would be nice if I could clone myself

Feels good when someone uses your code. Here's mine if anyone wants it as @Julian has turned off signatures.

[Jenkler]

Cool

I only got one, but that is better than nothing right
