How to Install a MyBB Forum through Softaculous

MyBB is an easy-to-use forum application built on PHP. Our MyBB Hosting Plans come with the ability to easily install MyBB in seconds using Softaculous.

Installation Steps

To install MyBB through Softaculous, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Locate and click on the Softaculous application icon.
  3. Navigate to Forums > MyBB.
  4. Click on the blue Install button and proceed to fill in the required fields.

Required Fields

  • Installation URL: Choose the installation URL for your MyBB installation. It can be installed on your root domain or in a folder.
  • Site Name: Enter your website's name. This can be changed later.
  • Board Name: Enter the name of your forum or board. This can also be changed later.
  • Board Email: Provide the primary email address that MyBB will use to send out notifications regarding your forum.
  • Admin Username: Choose a username for the forum's administrator. This will be used to log in to the admin area of MyBB.

  • Select Language: Choose the language for your MyBB Forum. You can select from three options: English, Turkish, or Persian.

Once you have filled in the required fields, enter your email address in the Email installation details to field and click on the Install button. Your MyBB installation will begin, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes to complete.

After the installation is complete, you will receive an email with the installation details, including login URLs and administrator information. The email will look similar to the following:
