someone told me that i have to have a domain name
before i can upload my web server with XOOPS in it.

the hosting package i have found does not come with
a domain , BUT DOES come with an 'Add-on Domain', if i
was to make a dot.tk domain to upload my site, could i just change it over to the add-on domain, this way i would not need to pay for a real domain?

You can host it wherever you want, don't need a domein, just as long as the host has php/mysql! The host you currently use (geocities) doesn't have that. Or at least i they didn't a couple of years ago, dunno about now.

Putting up a website with XOOPS doesn't require a name. a dot tk to link to where ever your website is located will do.

******ok i need some pros to answer these questions!!****

Please answer each one with detail or this post will go on forever! thanks for your help:



1. Do you need a strong domain like www. my clan site.com to load my web server onto?, or can i just use dot.tk and then use the 'Add on domain' that you get free with this hosting company?
2.Will i be able to easily switch to another CMS if i ever wanted to ?

3.Can I make 1 or more sites out of my web server, say by using the sub domains and have
a completely new template and user database?

4.What are Pre-installed CGIs?
5.Do I always have to have 'Who's Online' and other popular modules on my site? i dont want them
6.Whats the difference between bandwidth and data transfer
7. When i pay for the hosting it says i have to type in a domain name! so should i buy one before because i know o a really cheap place, buy that first and then pay for the hosting? what are the alternatives?

Please help! me!

1. No. Any domain will do, so long as you define that domain in mainfile.php as your Virtual Directory for XOOPS.

2. Why would you want to do a thing like that? ;)

3. Yes, but you have to hack that yourself. Do a search on XOOPS.org for "multisites hack" for a how-to.

4. Not a clue. Luckily, XOOPS doesn't use CGI scripts.

5. No. You can customize XOOPS to have whatever you want and to exclude anything you don't like.

6. Check the other thread where you asked the same question

7. That one's up to you. You can get free domains like yoursite.dyndns.org or something like that, or you can go purchase a cheap domain name... http://www.godaddy.com has a sale on .com names right now ($6.95 I believe for a year).

Hope that helped!
