Do you still have any questions? We'd love to hear from you

A full license includes access to the full IP.Board source code. You have the freedom and ability to modify all board files. On a Hosted Community, the core source files are encoded, however you can still take advantage of the hooks and applications system to modify your community as needed. (*Please note that IP.Nexus is encoded for all boards.)

You have the option of installing your community on your preferred platform as long as it meets the minimal requirements.

With a full license you have no restrictions like you would with a hosted community. You may modify the software to meet the needs of your community. This means you have full control on customizing the software.

Our hosted communities come with a low monthly cost making it affordable to run your community.

There are no contracts with hosted communities. You have the choice to cancel at any given time.

Our products renew on a six month basis, providing access to continued upgrades, support, and services. If you do not renew on your expiration date, your products will continue to function and you can renew at any time without penalty to regain access to IPS services.

We host thousands of communities large and small from enterprise customers to small hobbyists. We also handle your updates free of charge, whenever you are ready.

All hosted communities receive IP.Board, IP.Gallery, IP.Blog, IP.Downloads, and IP.Chat (20 users). Starter 5 package does not include IP.Chat service.
