DNS Settings Help

[MAHMUT ORHAN]

Hello,

 

I have a wordpress site using the main domain.com I want to connect my invision community Cloud site to my site but I want it to show like domain.com/forum/*

Is it possible I can use invision community cloud and connect it to my domain from domain.com/forum/ or I need to make a subdomain like forum.domain.com

Thank you for any help.

DNS resolves to a server (meaning SOMETHING.DOMAIN.COM).  It cannot route to a folder.  (It's a path on a server, not the server itself).  

As a result, you would need a subdomain.

Yes, I think to be able to do that I need to get a self hosted subscription.

DNS is typically separate from the hosting itself. You can purchase/manage a domain without hosting at all. (For example just having a domain for email or to have pointers to things like FTP or SSH.)

Our Cloud can only support root domains (e.g. example.com) or sub-domains (e.g. community.example.com). It cannot support sub-folders - or in this regard where the root domain lives on another server due to technical restrictions that Randy mentions.

Most of our customers who have a main site already on another service or server, generally go the sub-domain route here in our Cloud.

Alternatively, if really having that sub-folder, "domain.com/forum/", is what you desire, this will indeed require self-hosting both your main site and our software on the same server.
