Dose vBulletin give me a domain?

[BillyMo07]

If I buy a vbulletin, will they automaticly give me a domain to go with my new message board. How will I access my message board once I buy it?:confused:

No sorry. We do not provide domains or hosting. We provide the software.

vBulletin requires a web server that includes PHP (minimum version 4.3.3) and MySQL (minimum 4.0.16) installed. As long as you choose a host that meets these requirements you will be able to install and run our software.

We do not make official recommendations regarding hosting companies. I suggest you view the vBulletin Hosting Options forum for advice from our customers:

so if I already have a domain, how hard is it to set it up with the vbulletin?

Thank you.

FYI, even if you buy a domain, you need a decent hosting company too :)
