MAHMUT ORHAN Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 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.

Randy Calvert Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHMUT ORHAN Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Yes, I think to be able to do that I need to get a self hosted subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Jim M Posted May 19, 2022 Solution Share Posted May 19, 2022 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.
