no you are buying a domain... its different than a sub domain... which is what you're thinking of... you domain will be like this

yourdomainname.com


I like godaddy, its where I get the domains when Im working on a site for a client

yep, this is my original name...

go daddy I believe still hosts for 1.99 with a domain purchase...

another good one is doteasy.com they usually have inexpensive domains and you can get free hosting depending on what kind of storage and transfer rate you need...

depending on his requirements for space and transfer, there are alot of places where you can get cheap monthly hosting...

if he doesnt require a lot of either doteasy had 100MB space and a domain for $25/yr

the lowest Ive seen is 3.95/mo got like 500 mb and 10gb of transfer with a guarantee 99.9 % uptime... however you need to be careful which company you go with because they really are not created equally.

look carefully and make sure to check the terms of usage etc etc

ok then can I suggest

buy a domain and go with forumer.com... they are all about forums and they have an option of paying a moderate amount per month to remove ads... I cant remember how much off the top of my head and then you can just point your domain name to the forum

the banner advertising ot the top banner?

because I changed the top banner with mine no sweat... its just knowing how to work with css and you can change the look all you want...

if its the advertising banner, then you have to pay to remove

----------------------Free Domains----------------------------------Forum provides some fancy domain names when you register your forum, some of these are:

1) yourforum.tt.cx
2) yourforums.x.am
3) yourforum.999.org

All these domains are FREE & functioning as soon as your forum is installed.



----------------------Paid Domains---------------------------------
However, if you like to attach another PAID domain to your forum such as www.yourforum.com or www.yourforum.net etc., you first have to buy this domain name, then you've to point this domain name to the IP address of your server after which you've to to your Admin CP & attach this domain name to your forum.



you have to purchase a domain seperately and then make it forward to the forum site, kinda like with the .tk... same basic principal... so get a domain from go daddy or doteasy and then set it to mask the forumer url... so when someone wants to go to the forum, they type the domain name and it takes you directly there.

as far as I know, it can only be in one persons name, Ive never actually had to register one domain name for 2 clients at the same company.  Usually its one person per domain..

yep that can be done and most places depending on the company will let you purchase more than one year in advance (sometimes at a savings to you) so if you can upfront for a couple years its a bonus because then you dont have to worry about renewal dates every year
