Custom Domain Costs

[rav4club]

Forum URL: rav4driversclub.boards.net/

Hi,
I intend to move to a Custom URL in around a weeks time  (I need to disassociate it from my existing forum hosted elsewhere first which is still live and running).  I also want to have a second 'backup' custom URL pointing to the forum.
I know from reading the 'how to's' that this is doable.  I will be using the self-managed DNS and CNAME process, as found that has worked well for me previously elsewhere.

Now to the question ....  On the upgrade page, it says "Instead of using xxxxxxxx.boards.net for your forum URL, you could use your-domain.com! We can link your existing domain name to your ProBoards forum for (13.99$)/year".
Is that $13.99 to provide the Custom URL capability, or is there a $13.99 charge for each custom domain you want to point at the forum?

Thanks

Hi

As far as i am aware it is per domain name. But i can't find any documentation or posts on this forum confirming that, so could i invite you to check back later today for a response from one of the ProBoards staff

Thanks,
It is not critical to have two names, but I am using one (r4dc.com) to point people to my new Proboards forum (via Web Forwarding) until the "proper" domain is moved over and would be handy to do the process now with that name to check the process all works in readiness for my switchover.

Using CNAME was meant to work at tapatalk, but was just one of the many things that was meant to work but never did (and still does not) work properly there and they don't know how to fix and was apparently due to me.
Funny how the CNAME settings have worked everywhere else I have used them exactly as they were meant to

Hi, rav4club.

Each custom domain name you wish to add to the forum requires the $13.99 charge for a year of linking. You'll notice after you've linked one and attempt to add another that you'll be taken to the checkout page again to make another $13.99 purchase.

Thanks.

The one I was going to "try" is not the main one, so I will just wait until the weekend when I am ready to do my transition
