Installing the forum in a directory/folder of your website

You can install the forum on a page such as your_domain.com/forum or your_domain.com/forum.html by first creating that page on your website and then embedding the forum into that page.

Website Toolbox is a hosted forum solution so there are no files to download and install on your website server. If you don't want to embed the forum into an existing page of your website, you can create a subdomain on your existing domain name instead so that forums.your_domain.com points directly to your forum. Your users would not see websitetoolbox.com or know that your forum is hosted with us. Although the forum will be kept on our servers, it will look like the forum is hosted by your website because the forum can be fully customized to fit your website design.

You can read further about the pros and cons of using forum hosting versus using forum software.
