You can access your forum using your own domain name by creating a subdomain which points to Website Toolbox.

For example, to set up http://forum.yourdomain.com/ or http://www.yourdomain.com/:

1. Connect the subdomain with your forum.
2. In your domain name DNS settings, create a CNAME record for forum that points to custom.websitetoolbox.com.
3. Wait up to 4 hours for your DNS change to be updated across all the other DNS servers on the Internet.
