Alert:
Oh, may I ask you, when someone makes a forum, how do you make that domain appear. Do you have to pay?

No.. its available to everyone.
Admin > Domain Manager
Do NOT do anything in there, fill anything in, press any buttons until you have purchased a domain name, created the nameservers with them, pointed them to the IP number provided in Domain Manager etc. If you do your forum will become unusable.
Alert:
No because, how do you sort of get a thing with yourname after.
Like with me it'd be www.Sitenametitles.alert.com?
And, how do you "Host"?

Do a Google Search for Domain Hosts
Or use Godaddy.com to purchase a domain name as I said
The domain name can not contain two dots (.) in it as the one you posted has.
It has to be for example: somename.com, somename.net, somename.org, etc
IF you are talking about self-hosting the forum - going with a host, installing the software and running it yourself instead of using a forum with this service - we can not help you with that here, nor will we provide answers to questions about that here. You will have to go to simplemachines support forum to find out about all of that (easily found via google)
Alert:
Oh. Okay. But howcome somename.smfforfree.com?
Also, its bugging me now. I know were going offtopic, who owns the internet?
