Forum
Hetzner’s Forum is a pay-as-you-go platform for hosting and managing online discussion boards. It handles the core infrastructure needed to run community spaces, supporting user interactions, content storage, and basic moderation tools without requiring you to manage underlying servers. The service focuses on providing a straightforward environment for maintaining active user groups and facilitating communication within dedicated communities.
This setup suits teams that need a dedicated, scalable discussion hub and prefer usage-based billing over fixed subscriptions. The main trade-off is the complete absence of a free tier, meaning every user or test instance incurs costs from the start. You pay strictly for what you use, which offers flexibility but requires careful budgeting for small projects or initial trials since there is no zero-cost entry point.
