A low-cost shared host for multiple websites, including phpBB forums.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ProHoster provides SSD-based shared web hosting for blogs, landing pages, business websites, forums, and small online stores. It fits website owners who need multiple sites, common CMS support, and a control panel without moving to VPS or dedicated infrastructure. phpBB is listed among its integrations, alongside WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OpenCart, Magento, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. The service is available through the web and includes automatic CMS installation, per-site PHP version and module selection, free migration, daily backups, SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and unlimited traffic.
The published plans show five monthly options. Unlim-1_cPanel costs $2.50 per month and includes 30 GB storage, 10 websites, unlimited traffic, cPanel, Let’s Encrypt SSL, and DDoS protection. Unlim-2_cPanel costs $4.50 per month with 50 GB storage and unlimited websites. Unlim-3_cPanel costs $8 per month with 100 GB storage, while Unlim-4_cPanel costs $11 per month with 150 GB. Unlim-5_cPanel costs $13.50 per month and provides 200 GB. The four higher plans retain unlimited websites, unlimited traffic, cPanel, Let’s Encrypt SSL, and DDoS protection. A 14-day hosting trial is also available.
Its main strength is breadth: ProHoster combines multi-site shared hosting with CMS installation, selectable PHP settings, two control-panel options, and support for forum software such as phpBB. That makes it a practical fit for several modest websites or a phpBB forum that does not require specialized forum administration. Buyers seeking deeper phpBB-specific tooling, or the isolation and control associated with VPS or dedicated hosting, should look elsewhere. The offering is general-purpose hosting first, with phpBB support as part of its wider platform coverage.
