How to Convert phpBB to vBulletin
How to Convert phpBB to vBulletin
If  you   are  an  owner  or  an  administrator  of  a  web
project,  you  must  know  that  there  are  many  CMS
platforms  to  choose from.  But  which one  is  the  best
fit  for  your  web  site?  First  of  all,  to  get  closer  to  the
answer  to this question, one has to know about the peculiarities of each platform. So now we are
going to compare phpBB to vBulletin, as they are some of the most popular forum platforms.
phpBB  is  an  open  source  platform  with  a  very  long  history  on  the  market  and  a  large
community  of  users.  Although sometimes  it may  require  some  programming  skills, it is known
for   its   effective  security  system  and  an  extensive  administration  panel.  phpBB  also  offers  a
number  of  free  MODs,  easy  to  install  and  effective  in  use.  All  in  all,  it  is  a  great  tool   for
experienced users, who are looking for a reliable professional grade software for their forums.
vBulletin,   on  the  other  hand,  pushes  the  limits  and  offers  to  you  a  possibility  to  create  and
manage  not  only  a  forum  but  also  a  blog, a website and some other web projects. It has a
really  user­friendly  installer  and  a  great  compatibility,  so  that  you  can   run  your  web  project  on
different  operating  systems.  One  of  the  unique  features  of  vBulletin  is  the  possibility  to  publish
message  drafts  as and  when required even  if you are not online by simply indicating the
time  of  publishing.  However,  the  convenience  comes at  a  price,  as  vBulletin  is  a  commercial
platform and you need to buy a license to use it.
Sometimes  though  only  theoretical  comparison  may  not  be  enough  to decide  which  tool  will  be
better  for  your  web  site  and  you  have  to  try  each  of  them.  If  this  is  the  case  and  you  are  using
phpBB,  but  would  like  to  try  vBulletin,  we  have  a solution  for you. Now you don’t need to perform
the  transfer manually, nor do you have to create a  new web project from scratch. Our automated
migration service CMS2CMS will do everything for you.

Simple Steps guide on How to Migrate from phpBB to
vBulletin
Step 1. Create an Account
It will take you no more than a minute to register on http://www.cms2cms.com/
Step 2. Indicate Your Source and Target Websites
Type in the URLs and specify the platform types of your websites.
Step 3. Download the Connection Bridge
You  will  need  the bridge to gain access to  your websites. Simply install it to your PC, unzip it and
upload to your phpBB and vBulletin websites root folders via FTP using any FTP client software.
Step 4. Select Your Extra Options and  Try Demo
Migration
In  addition to migrating all of your categories, posts, topics, users and polls you can choose such
additional options as:
● Clear the data on your vBulletin site before Migration
● Migrate images and attachments
● Fix broken relationships in the database
You  can  check  how  the  service  works  with  the  free  Demo  migration  option  and  have up  to  10
threads/topics moved from phpBB to vBulletin at no cost at all!
Step 5. Proceed to Your Full Migration
After  you  see  the  results  of  your  Demo  migration,  you  can  start  your  Full  migration  right  away
and  migrate  your  whole  forum  content.  All  of  your  data  will  be  converted  in  a  matter of  minutes

Free demo migration! We are sure that you won’t regret!
