Hosting and support for membership sites
We run the infrastructure behind membership sites on platforms like BuddyBoss, Discourse and WordPress, with capacity planning for launches and busy periods.
What we do
What we look after
Communities break differently from the average website: the load is active, the data is personal, and the subscription logic has a hundred edge cases. We handle that end of things so you can focus on the community itself.
Forum & community platforms
Discourse, phpBB, Flarum, NodeBB, BuddyBoss: deployed, customised and kept up to date with sensible moderation tooling.
WordPress membership sites
BuddyBoss, MemberPress and Paid Memberships Pro, with member access, billing and integrations configured and tested together.
Subscription billing
Tiered memberships, free trials, dunning, VAT. Without leaving revenue on the table to failed payments.
Capacity planning for launches
Capacity and caching reviewed for concurrent logged-in users, with load checks and scaling plans agreed around your platform.
Security & member-data protection
Hardened admin, stronger sign-in, account alerts and access review. Data protection duties need organisational and legal work as well as technical controls.
Backups and restore checks
Off-site copies and restore checks, with retention and recovery targets agreed around your community data and dependencies.
Moderation & trust tools
Moderator dashboards, abuse detection, report queues, and rate limits on the common abuse vectors.
Community analytics
Engagement metrics without surveilling individual members. Understand what's working, drop what isn't.

Talk it through
Discourse, BuddyBoss or phpBB getting slow?
It's a common place we come in: stabilise the infrastructure, fix the slow areas, let you go back to focusing on the community itself.
Most communities start with us when they hit a wall: slow at peak time, a security scare, a subscription mess. We fix that first, quietly. First conversation's free.
Send an enquiry at any time. We will respond as soon as we can and agree a practical next step with you.
