vBulletin is software for building online community sites and discussion forums. It comes in two forms: a version that site owners host themselves, called vBulletin 5 Connect, and a hosted version called vBulletin Cloud. The company says its software powers more than 100,000 sites.

What vBulletin offers

  • Site Builder — customisable page templates, drag-and-drop layout and in-line editing for managing pages.
  • Self-hosted edition — vBulletin 5 Connect runs on the owner's own hosting.
  • Cloud edition — the vendor provides hardware, hosting, maintenance and upgrades.
  • Messaging — the vB Messenger chat app is included with the cloud edition.
  • Mobile apps — customised iOS and Android apps are offered for community sites.
  • Search and security — search optimisation and security features are built in.

Who it works with
