What is XMB?
XMB is open-source forum software that runs on PHP with a MySQL database. It is designed to be straightforward to set up while allowing extensive customisation through themes and modifications. Robert Chapin has led development since May 2008, and the project is overseen by The XMB Group. It is distributed under the GPL.

Licence: GPL · Built with: PHP + MySQL · Official site: www.xmbforum2.com
Common uses
- Community discussion board with sub-forums
- Hobby or fan club forum
- Customised forum using themes and modifications
XMB requirements
- PHP: PHP 8.2 or higher for XMB 1.10; XMB 1.9.12 is the documented alternative for older PHP, with a minimum of PHP 7.0
- Database: MySQL 5.5.8 or newer (MySQL 8.0 to 8.4 fully supported)
- PHP MySQL extension (cURL and GD2 recommended)
XMB needs only PHP with the MySQL extension and a MySQL database, which standard cPanel accounts provide. Version 1.10 requires PHP 8.2 or newer, so choose a suitable PHP version in cPanel.
Why host XMB with Hostripples

- All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
