You can either have us host the software for you on XenForo Cloud or you can purchase a self hosted license.

The majority of things can be managed through style properties which are various settings which control various options such as colours or logos which you can upload via the admin control panel. This is the same for both Cloud and the self hosted version.

In theory you shouldn’t have to write your own HTML or CSS. But it’s still a steep learning curve. A lot of the time you can achieve the look you want either by adjusting the colour palette or by downloading a ready-made third party style.

If you do go with XenForo Cloud you will initially start with one of our own domains and you can continue to use that if you wish but if you want to connect your own custom domain then that’s possible and fairly easy to do.

Let us know if you have any more questions.
