BuddyPress at CheapTopHost

BuddyPress is a free, open-source extension for WordPress that adds social networking features to your website. It is developed by the same community that maintains WordPress itself and is used for member clubs, school and university communities, company intranets and interest groups.

With BuddyPress, members get extended profiles with custom fields, an activity stream that shows what is happening in the community, friend connections, private messages and notifications. Groups can be public, private or hidden, each with its own activity feed and members. Because BuddyPress is based on WordPress, you can combine it with thousands of WordPress themes and plugins.

Our app installer gets your BuddyPress community started without manual setup. Free SSL protects member logins and private messages, our anti-bot protection keeps spam registrations down, and optimised PHP-FPM with cache optimisation keeps activity streams responsive. If you prefer extra WordPress tools such as staging and the WordPress Manager, our WordPress hosting is a great alternative for BuddyPress.

Yes. You can restrict groups and content within BuddyPress and WordPress, and use password-protected directories for additional privacy if needed.

Is BuddyPress suitable for large communities?
