domain for new forum

[harold]

a friend told me to come here for a forum and on the advert it said free forum and free domain , but now i find that i have to pay for the domain , is the advert right or wrong , harry

For a .com yes

[harold]

i'm sorry but i don't have a clue , i suppose so

To have a domain name like .com or .net you will have to pay for the domain name on a yearly bases. For a sub-domain, like www.myforum.forumotion.com is free.

Also, your topic has been posted in the wrong area ! This is for hitskin.

It is not free domain you get a free subdomain like Harperboy said.

To purchase a .com or a .net, you could try any domain name sites like Godaddy.com to purchase a domain name. These can cost around 13$ depending on how many years you want to keep it.
