<h2>The Best Community Forum Software is vBulletin</h2>

Finding the right software for your forum isn't easy. If you choose a free choice, you won't get the best software in the industry, but it will be free. However, if you want the best forum program, you need to spend a little cash. The best in the industry is vBulletin 5 Connect with a price ranging from $209 to $399, depending on the license you choose.

This software provides more than just a simple forum. With vBulletin, you get a robust forum with easy to use features. You can launch your new forum in less than 15 minutes and streamline the editing process. It comes with built in SEO features and the templates are all customizable.

Engage your users with integrated social media, including Facebook. Real-time interaction will set your forum apart and you gain the ability to personalize everything. With the right license choice, you can even optimize your forum for mobile users. Some of the clients currently using vBulletin include:

<b>Hosting Your vBulletin Forum</b>

If you want to get the most out of your forum software, the right host makes a huge difference. Throwing your vBulletin 5 Connect forum on just any host won’t cut it. You need a hosting company capable of providing the best security, support, performance and resources.

Companies using outdated programs and servers won't provide the solid foundation you need. With an aggressive marketing plan, you will need more than just shared hosting or you will deal with constant complaints from slow load times, downtime and many other issues. You don't want to discourage visitors from joining or waste your precious advertising dollars.

A hosting company offering more than just one package and more than just shared hosting is necessary for those planning to grow quickly or moving a forum with an established membership. Of course, support and security make a huge difference, as well. Any hosting company worth using will provide fast, friendly and reliable support 24/7/365. They will also provide the best security possible to ensure you don't run into unnecessary issues from hacking.

<b>Don't Lose Potential Members Because of Bad Hosting</b>

Imagine if you found what seems like the perfect forum for your needs. You're all excited and ready to join, find answers to your questions and participate in discussions. However, when you land on the sign up page, it takes more than just a few minutes to load and you get an error page. You try to refresh the page, but the same thing happens.

Finally, you're able to sign up, but the email with your confirmation link and password doesn't show up. Now you have to repeat the entire process, in hopes to actually become a member. Would you feel discouraged? Would you start searching for another forum?

This happens all the time, even with the best forum software. Without the right hosting to match your excellent forum software, you may be doing yourself more harm than good. You need top notch hosting capable of supporting vBulletin and everything it can do. If you choose the wrong hosting, you could deal with slow load times and downtime causing potential members to find your competition.
