Hi, I also want to make a forum like forums.digitalpoint.com I contacted my hoster about this. He suggested me not to make forum on my sub domain. He suggested me to take another domain for this because he told that if we make forum on sub domain my security level will go down. I am new website making. I purchased my first domain 13 july 2010. Right now i don;t have money and i m like a poor man i mean restricted in family problems. i mean i don't have extra money to spend. I want to earn by adsense and working really hard for this. www.paksfun.com. I want to know plz help me that is it safe to make my forum on my sub domain like this forum.paksfun.com? also tell me is it truth that making sub domains losses security? may i make forum on my sub domain? also suggest me a beautiful name in place of forum like. example.paksfun.com and also plz tell me how to secure my vbuletin ? i was told that making sub domain doesn't decrease security, all now we have to make vbuletin secured? thanks. and sorry to waste your time.
