Hi there,

I want to run a small internet forum and the £4.99 per month package looks perfect for me.

Just wanting to know before I sign up:

-Do I need to buy a domain name prior to sign up?
-How does the forum get added to my domain name? i.e. when a user visits my site, how do I get the forum to be hosted there?

I am no tech-wiz so treat me gently!

You do need to have a domain name, but you can select to Register or Transfer in a domain name for free when you signup. You can also choose to use an existing domain name registered with another registrar.

With the Web Wiz Forums Hosting Packages the forum is installed in the website root, so visitors to your domain would go straight to the forum.

With our Windows Web Hosting Packages the forum can be installed in a folder, so that your visitors can first go to a landing page or website.
