    Solved Domain from another host

    Post by angel_of_night February 17th 2014, 3:42 am

    Hello. 


    I want to know if it's possible to have my domain name transferred to another host (instead of forumotion).
    I searched about it but couldn't find a definite answer.

    How am I meant to do this?


    Thank you.

    Ok let me clear things out, so for example you own a domain purchase direct on forumotion and you want to transfer it to another domain hosting ? is that it ?

    I don't think that works, I will have to wait until it expires. But when it expires, and if I buy from another host, would I be able to connect it to my forum?

    I also think it won't work, Yes you may connect domain name purchased outside forumotion.

    In advance here's the tutorial of it: https://help.forumotion.com/t7021-redirect-an-extern-domain-name-that-you-own-to-your-board

    Of course it works. Smile


    Edit: you can see the date 2007 posted but if they added some features they'll just edit it. So you'll be thinking that this topic is old, but yet no they are just updating it. Wink

    I know that Wink just wanted to make sure if it really works because I've read around that doesn't.
