Sub Domain

I think it would be pretty neat to have them Forumotion.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about well here's an example.

Example
Mysite > http://computalks.com
Sub Link > http://help.computalks.com

Forumotion would make more money if they could allow us to make more forum pages for like helping for your site or gaming forums.

I think it would be pretty cool.

I still do not understand what you are talking about.

Like if you bought a website
you can make sub links
Site: yoursite.com
sublink: whatever.yoursite.com
Like to add more forum pages to your website.

i actually dont get it either.

u can open html pages and do whatever u want with them (if i got it right)

Okay. Let me explaine this. Okay. So you have got a domain name with Forumotion. Well, lets say this is my website link. www.yourwebsite.com Well, you can change the www to what ever you want.

Voted yes!

Sub domains is what I talking about
Sort of what forumotion has.
Forumotion.com
help.forumotion.com

The support forum is not really a sub domain. It is a forum just like ours.

Yes, the support forum is a normal Forumotion forum that has got the address of 'help'.

I know I was using it for an example.

It's still a sub domain of forumotion.com, like any Forumotion forum. He wants us to be able to make our own sub domains like "http://www.gallery.creative-nation.net/" or whatever.

I'm in agreeance with the idea, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able too.

This would be awesome

Thanks for the votes guys keep them coming

Bump.

It's already possible to create sub-domains ( eg. raze.purchased-domain.com ) and use 'em on your forum.

You just need to have full control of your TLD and web hosting not provided by ForuMotion, create the sub-domain and use it on your FM board.

Yeah, but you're screwed over if you purchased your domain through Forumotion, which is how most users have purchased their domains.

Great idea

I totally want this! YES YES YES! The subdomain could be a normal html page. You could choose to give it forum header and footer or not, etc.

Well, what it should be is you should be able to type in a word before your domain, and then give it a URL to make the sub domain.

They should be able to buy their domain from ForuMotion. ( don't know if they found a replacement for Typlo yet.. )

Yes

Yeah I know. But it can't just be blank, so it could be an HTML page at that address.

Doesn't the webmail.yoursite.com count as a sub
So we should be able to get others.

We can still buy domains, but not transfer them. Typlo is the transfer guy. I agree with LH Justin's comment.

Cool!

You can still request free transfers. The Godfather does it now. Transfer requests are sent to Managers and we pass them on to him.

You have high hopes. Sure, I also had high hopes for template editing for phpBB3 about a year ago,

Think about it this way. The company is about creating forums.

By creating multiple sub-domains for who knows what reason, where will they be redirected to? A website? The last website I tried to build on ForuMotion got deleted without reason ( not banned by OG, but permanently removed from the Internet ) because there was no forum.

They aren't going to do things individually for certain forum owners ( I'm not talking about the contents of this suggestion being accepted due to a certain member ) . If your domain was up for sub-domain creations, then everyone, and let me repeat, everyone could have created a sub-domain from the administration control panel of their forumotion forum with the respectful domain that you purchased & wanted to use yourself ( like the others which forumotion offers ) .

Free? When I requested for my EPP code, I had to pay a small fee Via PayPal... Maybe now that's been changed...

Anyway, back to the topic : Your best bet is sending a message to one of the "FM Managers" ( Justin for example ) , get your domain free and create your own sub-domains yourself. Go with NameCheap as your domain registrar if you're willing to get full control of your TLD. They provide awesome support and they're very friendly.

Bump.

Coool <3 love it, and i want it so much !
