Re: Setting up a domain name (24th Nov 08 at 1:34pm UTC)
Ok what I get so far is that I need to purchase 3 ad-free credits on the shop. Make a thread saying that I want to buy the domain. Then I get to the place where I can put the sub-domain. After that I have it then I'm happy.

Is that right?
No. Making a thread would mean I'd have to do it manually when there's now a much easier way
Go to http://shop.virtualforums.co.uk/?section=domain Fill in your forums username, the domain/sub-domain you wish to use and a contact email. Once you do that it'll add the domain hosting to your cart and at the bottom of the box it'll give the values/details you need to setup the CNAME record (which I will talk you through setting up).
Next, click the "Checkout" button to be taken through to Google Checkout who will process the payment.
Then, let me know you've done that and I'll talk you through setting up the CNAME record with Godaddy
