Domain Questions

Dear ....,

Hi, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me.
I have been planning to create my own website through forumotion and I was wondering a few things concerning domains.

Firstly I was wondering if it's possible to buy a domain from outside of forumotion and install it on our forumotion site? Eg. buy a domain from Domians.com.au then install it on myforumotionforum.forumotion.com?

The next question is concerning if I DO buy a domain from Forumotion. Does the domian require yearly payments of 1600 credits or does it just convert back into it's old subdomain and requires me to manually buy the domain again?

Yours truly, Baylixx

Yes you can do that

It lasts for 1 year, the date of purchase to 1 day after date of purchase
It does require yearly payments of 1600 credits, YES

hmm Im not sure about the returning to the previous subdomain sorry.


I hope this has helped out,
Darren.

Thanks alot Darren1,
Would you know how to transfer the domain? or do I just ask an admin to do it for me? thanks.

its no problem

To transfure; I know its possible, and its been done before, just where the heck is that tutorial!

This one is for domain places such as GoDaddy and domains.com.au

You don't get an extra day, duh. It's the time it takes for the staff to add it, see?
