Can I use my own domain name?
« on: October 07, 2015, 12:26:59 pm »
I have just registered my forum on this site.  I have also registered as a member here. Can I use my own domain name here? I mean myowndomain.com instead of createaforum.com?


Can anyone help?


Thanks.

Dear Admin, Thank you for the fast reply. What I meant was that is there a way that I can use my own domain name without it pointing to yours. I mean it stays under my name and does not redirect to createaforum.com? I am willing to pay for this service. Also, I have seen the exact layout of your forum elsewhere. Many forums have the same layout, font, style, identical in every way. Please let me know what style of forum this is and how can I create my own one using the same layout, style, presentation, etc. if I cannot have my own domain name on its own without it pointing to yours. Please PM me if you prefer. Thank you.

Yes with the park domain feature you can use your own domain without the redirect. All your links will be from yoru domain  The style of this forum is our default style for all forums that we have hosted with us.

Thank you for the very helpful reply but I am having difficulty transferring my website. Info on the domain names manager seems outdated. Please help.

What part are you stuck on?
You can also create a DNS A record and point it to the ip of 184.171.171.98 and that will work as well if you are stuck on nameservers
