ok so i bought a domain name of kaoscustoms.org

freeforum is great . but i have a buddy how has a server. Well now he is willing to hook me up. so ill be switching to Vb and able to use things like tapatalk and freerunner. but my question is how can i make my domain name of kaoscustoms.org redirect to the new forum domain myself and my friend have bought. i dont wanna loose my domain. but i want it to basically load the new site. is this possible?i bought domain through admin acp on forumotion.

If you brought the domain name from Forumotion. Currently domain name transfers are suspended, nothing can be done about it.

Hello,

Without transferring the domain name you wouldn't be able to.

Just make an HTML page with this code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.kaoscustoms.org"></HEAD>
<BODY>
Put text here
</BODY>
</HTML>

then <a href="https://www.forumotion.com/">Forumotion</a> under it to make it your homepage.
Works as far as I know.

New here, does this mean you can't use your own domain name ?

Its not working, once I put in the Forumotion...stuff~ its like it breaks the html and the redirect doesnt work. The HTML in general doesnt work.
