Suite Requirements



Our suite is available as a self-hosted license, or as part of a hosted community package.

    • GD2 Extension
    • SPL Extension
    • DOM XML Extension
  • MySQL 4.1+
  • IP.Nexus requires Zend Optimizer or IonCube

  • IP.Nexus requires Zend Optimizer or IonCube
  • Our software works with any web server (Apache, IIS, lighttpd, etc.) that can support the listed requirements. Please note that if you choose to use Windows/IIS hosting our technical support services may be limited.

Hosted Communities

Get the benefits our suite can bring to your community, but let us handle the technicalities of the hosting environment. Our Hosted Community packages are perfect for people who want to focus on their community, rather than server setup, ongoing maintenance and security updates.



Benefits of a Hosted Community

  • No technical expertise needed
  • No licensing fees
  • Transparent to users - use your own domain
  • High availability
  • Packages scale with your community
  • No minimum contract
  • You own your data

Simply upload the PHP file to your server and access it via your web browser.
