The biggest upgrade in Link Robins hosting history

I've spent the last stretch rebuilding how forum hosting works here from the ground up — and almost everything I used to do by hand is now automatic, which means it's faster and more reliable for you. Here's what's new.

Your forum, live in minutes

New forums used to wait on me to set them up. Now the moment your subscription goes through, your forum builds, configures, and deploys itself — most forums are live in minutes, not days.

No domain? No problem

You can now launch on a free yourname.linkrobins.cc subdomain — DNS, SSL, and www redirects are all handled automatically. Nothing to configure, nothing to buy. Already own a domain? Use it instead, with step-by-step instructions delivered right to your dashboard.

Free, automatic migration from your old host

Moving an existing Flarum community? Upload your database export at signup (or anytime from your hosting panel) and it's imported into your new forum automatically — schema upgrades included, with a safety snapshot taken first. Your members, discussions, and history come with you.

A hosting panel that puts you in control

The panel built into your forum's admin (and your account page) now lets you:

• Change your domain yourself — switch between your own domain and a free subdomain anytime; DNS updates and the redeploy happen automatically
• Stop and start your site — taking a break? Pause your forum with one click. Your data, backups, and address stay safe until you turn it back on
• See your uptime at a glance — live status, 30-day uptime, and full incident history, powered by the monitoring that's included free with every forum
• Import a database, run repairs, grab backups — all self-service, all logged in your Activity feed

Updates without the wait

Platform improvements now roll out to every forum automatically and safely — one forum at a time per server, never during your backups, with a note in your Activity feed when yours is done. You get fixes and features faster, with no action needed and no surprise downtime windows.

A new plan — and a better deal on every plan

• Base — $15/mo ($150/yr): the easiest way to launch a brand-new community. Free subdomain, free migration, daily backups, monitoring — everything included.
• Pro — $30/mo ($300/yr): triple the resources of Base, for active and growing communities, with priority support.
• Enterprise — $300/mo ($3,000/yr): your own dedicated server — 8 vCPU and 24 GB of RAM that belong to you alone, with VIP support.

And one more thing: the Extension Manager is now included on every plan. Your community, your extensions, no upsell.

Same promise, better machinery

Every forum still gets daily off-site backups, free uptime monitoring, unlimited file uploads, a managed email outbox, and a real human (hi, it's me) when you need one. The difference is that everything around it now happens instantly and automatically — so I can spend less time clicking buttons and more time making your hosting better.
