http://custombaja.forum-phpbb.co.uk to www.custombajaforum.co.uk ????? HOW ..?
hi all i have just started a baja RC Car forum, its doing well and growing weekly with new members .
im looking to get some forums gear from shop motion with the web address on tee shirts ect .
heres my problem.....
at the moment my web address is
http://custombaja.forum-phpbb.co.uk
what i would like to do is change the name to a domain i got a few months back that's
www.custombajaforum.co.uk
so it will look better on the tee shirts and stickers ect and also be easier to remember
can i just contact the company i got the domain from and re point the old forum name to the new one?
please can some one let me know how in full this is done
thanks

It's not. Forumotion do not ever transfer ownership of the database.

if you read my first post again
at the moment my web address is
http://custombaja.forum-phpbb.co.uk
what i would like to do is change the name to a domain i got a few months back that's
www.custombajaforum.co.uk
so it will look better on the tee shirts and stickers ect and also be easier to remember
that's all just change the name to a shorter one and easier to remember.
i don't want to sound rude so please dont think that but i cant make the question any easier to understand
also please can i have a full answer not a " u cant " as thats pointless and gives me no input into the problem or a way around it
thanks

If you bought it from a external domain site (GoDaddy, or anywhere), you can use a domain name mask. You can also set up the CNAME.
Re: http://custombaja.forum-phpbb.co.uk to www.custombajaforum.co.uk ????? HOW ..?
ahhh thankyou harperboy
right so if i set up a cname ( whatever that is )
the address will be the shorter one yer that i have bought and not the phpbb one !
just to make sure

You can Google how to make a CNAME record in your Domain name Host DNS settings. A domain name mask will make the subdomain name with the .com or a domain you choose.
Re: http://custombaja.forum-phpbb.co.uk to www.custombajaforum.co.uk ????? HOW ..?
ok cool thanks i will try that but is there any downside to having a mask setup ?

Lets calm down before someone blows up. This place is suppose to be a support forum and not a place to go off. If you don't want to help someone then you shouldn't even be here. That being said lets all be nice and play nice.
