# Flynax

> Flynax is a commercial PHP engine designed for building classified-ads portals, business directories and marketplace-style sites with a rich system of categories and custom fields.

**Flynax** is a commercial engine (script) written in [PHP](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/php), designed for building classified-ads sites, business directories, real-estate and automotive portals, and other marketplace-style platforms. Unlike general-purpose CMS platforms, Flynax is specialised: it provides ready-made mechanisms typical of classifieds sites, such as a rich category system, custom fields that depend on the listing type, a search engine with filters, user accounts and payment modules for featured listings.

## How Flynax works

Flynax is a server-side application that runs in a classic LAMP environment — on a server with PHP and a [MySQL](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/mysql) or MariaDB database. The engine handles user requests, stores listings and profiles in the database and generates result pages from templates. The administrator manages the site from a panel where they define the category structure, listing form fields, paid plans and the site's appearance. Extensibility comes from add-ons and templates available within the vendor's ecosystem.

### Key features

The most important capabilities include a flexible listing-field builder, multilingual support, payment integrations, content moderation, geolocation with maps and responsive templates. This makes it possible to build anything from a simple directory to an elaborate trading portal on a single engine.

## Practical applications

Flynax is chosen by builders of classified-ads sites who need a ready, specialised platform rather than building such a portal from scratch or assembling it from many plugins for a general [CMS](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/cms). A classifieds site generates many database queries and must handle search-engine traffic, so stable, performant hosting matters — for larger projects most often a [VPS](https://nodea.io/en/glossary/vps) that provides control over the PHP and database configuration.

### How is Flynax different from WordPress?

WordPress is a general-purpose CMS extended with plugins, whereas Flynax is a specialised engine designed exclusively for classified-ads sites and directories. Flynax provides ready-made marketplace mechanisms that in WordPress would require additional extensions.

### What are Flynax's hosting requirements?

Flynax runs in a standard LAMP environment — it requires a server with PHP, a MySQL or MariaDB database and an Apache or Nginx web server. To smoothly serve a larger classifieds site with many queries, it is worth planning for performant hosting or a VPS.
