Re: Domain Name Pointing
You need to have your domain parked at a host service, then redirect the domain to your forum. It can be done via the htaccess file at the root of your domain host.
Re: Domain Name Pointing
Thank you it is parked with fast host however they will not allow me to do this.
What it will allow to do this however for some strange reason I can redirect if I have an IP address. Are you able to provide the IP adddress for learningthreads.forumotion.co.uk.
thankyou

Re: Domain Name Pointing
Won't allow you to access the "htaccess" file? You have every right to edit that if it exists - or make one of your own if it doesn't. Do you have FTP access to your root? Just make one offline and FTP it there.learningthreads wrote:Thank you it is parked with fast host however they will not allow me to do this.

No - I'm not connected with forumotion support. I don't have that information. Sorry. Wait ... try going to your command prompt and typing "ping (enter your forum address)" and hit enter. It should show the IP address with the result. No guarantee, though. It SHOULD.

yes ! no problem you can do that. the only condition is that the external domain name must have an editable CNAME!!
so did your domaine admin panel give you acess the the CNAME edition?
