[Suggestion] make it easier to get a .com
« on: July 22, 2009, 04:59:23 pm »
it should be easier to make your fourm into a . com fourm so like all you do is have to click something sign up somewhere, if needed and pay. so you dont have to do all that other work. i think that would be a really cool thing to have and also make it easier for people to get it and hey! it mite even bring you in more money.

...It's already really easy to do. People just try to make it more complicated than it actually is.

We are not in the business of selling domain names -  but SMF for Free has made it as easy as it possibly can be for you to park a domain name.   Setting up the nameservers so that your domain can be parked on your forum is a necessary step.   The information you will need to do so is in domain manager on your forum.    For those who choose Godaddy as a host we have a pretty darn good guide here to help walk them through it.   Forum searchs will find information for others.    We can not know the exact steps for setting up the nameservers on every domain host but will do our best to help you take care of it.  Most do have good instructions for doing so.    If you decide to do it starz51500 and need some help remember we are here to help you.

Do you still have to pay to get a Domain?

Yes.  Domain names are not free.

It's kind of really unfair. Some people cant afford. Too young. Not aloud too. Some Facts:

Good Facts:
#1: People that are : not aloud, Too young , Can't afford.
#2. Brings more traffic to Support forums. Most people would want to make new forums and Administrate one and join the Support forums.
#3. Staff will be needed more Active as more people will come. (Also bad becuase some staff might not be able too. )


Bad Facts:

#1. Wastes SMF for Free's money instead of making the forums better.
#2. Staff is going to be needed more and its hard who to trust and things.
#3. More Traffic = More Spam Bots.
#4. People will lose population in their forums. ( Same as #1. )
