123reg subdomains possible?

Okay so I'm looking to purchase a domain. I've checked on Yahoo Domains and GoDaddy first as these are 'fully compatible'. The problem is on GoDaddy the domain I'm looking to purchase seems to have a * next to it, suggesting it's taken, and on Yahoo it's available but I would have to buy in $ when I'm located in the UK.

123reg however looks much more simple and the domain I want is there clearly for purchase. So if I was to go about purchasing from 123reg would I be able to use

www.soundrevolution.com/forums

or

forums.soundrevolution.com

Help would be appreciated, no experience of purchasing domains before so all help appreciated,

James.

If found, please report missing.

You would be able to use forums.soundrevolution.com. Our system doesn't work with www.soundrevolution.com/forums.

Have you already purchased soundrevolution.com? A web search shows me it's already taken.

I was using it as an example as precautionary measure incase somebody grabbed the domain I wanted, bit silly I guess.

The real doimain I wanted was the same but .net

thanks for the reply :)

If that was to happen would it also somehow create unique pages for topics?

Like forums.sound-revolution.net-topicid?736

something like that? Just makes navigation easier? cheers.
Can anyone clear this up for me?

Yes, that's correct. When you set a new domain on your board, it replaces the current URLs on your board. So instead of:

http://z3.invisionfree.com/Sound_Revolution/index.php

You'd have:

http://forums.sound-revolution.net/index.php

Ahh that's great news, thanks :)
One other thing, if I follow the tutorial to set up my domain (now purchased) as the tutorial explains, will it be possible to make my blog the home page for my domain. I really hope this is possible because it's really important. I want to make my blog (http://sound-revolution.blogspot.com/) the home page for my website (www.sound-revolution.net) and then when clicking on the button I made that redirects to the forum (http://s3.invisionfree.com/Sound_Revolution/) I would like to make this page forums.sound-revolution.net/index.php?. Will this be possible, if so can somebody help me. This is the first domain I've purchased and really need help so i'd appreciate this a lot.

Thanks,
James.

Indeed, that's possible James. :)

Just to confirm, you bought it from 123-reg.co.uk?
