Wish to have my own host

Hello,
Would I be able to move my forum to my own host? The domain
redirecting is not an ideal solution as the URL for all pages
looks the same!
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

You can use your own domain with us if you use the domain
manager. That will change all the urls to your domain

Thank you very much for the quick response. However, I would
need a little more help with this as I am pretty new to this
stuff :-(
I have the domain freezonesreview.com registered through
iPage.com. I tried to change the nameservers in iPage but it
appeared as a "Not Valid" name server. Their help desk suggested
that I get the correct name servers from CreateAForum.
Now I am completely lost. My requirements can be listed as
follows:
- To use my own domain name www.freezonesreview.com for the
forum.
- To have clear URLs for each of the pages (not a common URL for
the entire forum as it happens when performing a pointer using
stealth settings or domain cloaking), without showing any
information about CreateAForum (I can upgrade to a higher level
with CreateAForum)
- TO have email addresses with the same domain names (such as
info@freezonesreview.com)
It would be great if I could achieve these.
Thanks again.

Contact ipage.com and say you need to create
ns1.freezonesreview.com and ns2.freezonesreview.com both pointed
to ip address of 68.233.250.132
First two are easily possible.
Own email address would take a little more setup you would need
to find a free email provider. I used to recommend google apps
but no longer offered.

That sounds great.....let me try to request them to create the
nameservers.
I am more than willing to pay for the email service, if I can
get it under my domain name.
Will be back soon with the results.

This seems to be possible, if you can update the MX records for
my domain (Freezonesreview.com) after the update of nameservers.
I have submitted the request to create the nameservers.

Thanks a million. In this case I can achieve all the targets!
Domain and unlimited emails from iPage (though I am paying a
little more , a great forum from hosted in CreateAForum with
proper URLs for all pages! Including my own footers on every
page would make it perfect!

Looks good all ready to go.
Wait about 24 hours.
Then in domain manager use the change url function and should be
set.
And that will change all the urls on your board.
