    Hi guys,

    I have a blog and i want to implement my forum into the same blogs url..

    both domain url are different..

    my blog is running blogger.com
    my forum is vbulletin 4.

    example:
    blog url : www.123456.com
    forum url : www.123456.info

    am i allowed to make it so the forum sits in www.123456.com/forums?
    or do i need a redirect?
    but what if someone visits www.123456.info can i change url so it sits in www.123456.com/forums

    please help thanks

    Do you own 123456.info and 123456.com - not literally of course, but do you own both versions (.info and .com) of the same domain?

    If you do, yes it's possible, and should be very simple, but you're best running it past your host as they will know their systems better than anyone.

    Even if you don't, there are ways to make this work, but you really need your hosts help because so much depends on the Operating System, your hosts set-up, how technically competent they are, and whether what you are asking is possible as part of their standard set-up or whether it would be an exception...we're not keen on making exceptions, even if it is possible, because exceptions from the norm mean recovery or upgrades can become more complicated and time consuming.
