Changing domain name?

[iHatton]

Hi,
For example, my board is at www.example.com/sfwerfdsf (I put it there for testing and building the site, ready to go live).

How can I make it so it's forums.example.com, and when they type in example.com, it will automatically take them to forums.example.com

It's probably simple, but I just can't work it out.

Your talking about subdomains

Googled..

I have read that page, and I don't quite understand it. Is there a simple tutorial to follow?

Don't worry, I think I found a way via .htaccess, thanks anyway though.

Do you have cpanel?
It's very easy to do in cpanel
you don't want to do it via htaccess

otc This thread make me remember the last reply of Choysuey before he gone.

cpanel / domain forwarding is the easiest way.
