Sub Domain Names

Post by DirtySnipe »

I have a question for you.

Is it possible for a customer to use a subdomain name of there choice using this script? Or can it only be run from a domain name and the different forums use different folders under that domain???


Please explain how this script runs.

Yes, if that domain or subdomain points to same IP where forum is hosted, admin can add that domain in control panel and assign it to that customer.

For example, a customer has registered forum: customer1.forumhost.com, then he registered domain http://www.mycooldomain.com. What he needs to do is assign IP for http://www.mycooldomain.com to be the same as customer1.forumhost.com IP, then admin in control panel should click "domains" -> "management" link, and add it. In "domain type" field you can set "custom domain", so domain would be assigned to specific forum, and set it to "customer1".
