Managed hosting
SaaS Admin Guide
Manage your hosted Barazo forum. Billing, custom domains, settings, and data export.
This is the managed-hosting side of running a Barazo forum: the billing, domains, and account parts that come with letting us host it. The day-to-day management of the forum itself (categories, moderation, branding, and the rest) is the same wherever it's hosted, and lives under Administration.
Getting started
Your Barazo forum is fully managed, so there are no servers to maintain and no Docker to configure. Sign in to your admin dashboard to manage everything.
In this section
- Quick start: your first 10 minutes after creating a forum
- Billing and subscriptions: plans, invoices, upgrading, downgrading, VAT
- Custom domains: connect your own domain to your Barazo forum
- Usage and limits: what's included in your plan and what happens at the limits
- Managed backups: how backups work and how to request a restore
- Data export: export your data or migrate away
- Support: how to get help and expected response times
Managing the forum itself
Running the community (categories, topics, moderation, rules, branding, maturity, onboarding) works the same whether you use managed hosting or self-host. See Administration.
