Description of problem

Hi there,

I seem to be having quite a lot of trouble with connecting my forum to my external domain.

Here's what I have.

My domain and sub domain are from 123-reg for reference.

Currently my website from Wix is linked to my domain name: www.dundeewargames.co.uk.

I have a subdomain called www.forum.dundeewargames.co.uk which I would like to link to my forumotion forum but can't seem to do so.

I believe the issue may be something to do with this:

"To use the 123-reg DNS service, your domain must use the default 123-reg nameservers
Our systems have detected that dundeewargames.co.uk uses the following nameservers: ns2.wix.com, ns1.wix.com."

I'm now concerned that I can't link my forum to my sub domain while my main domain is linked to my website.

Any help would be amazing.

Thank you.

Steve

Hello

If you have an external domain name you can use a Cname: https://help.forumotion.com/t7021-cname-redirect-an-extern-domain-name-that-you-own-to-your-board
