Hello everyone, I am hoping to take my forum to the next step so I bought a domain, I'm just confused how I get the domain working? What does the domain have to point to in the DNS? I am also using cPanel as my file hosting provider.
You've to contact to the host to resolve DNS. After that just upload the files of MyBB, make a database and install the forum using this guide: http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Installing
I assume you already have a forum, since you want to take it to the next level?

Who's your host? Your host should have provided you with details on how to add/point a domain to your site. Keep in mind you'll have to make changes to the board url and cookies in admincp >> settings to reflect your new domain otherwise you'll have problems with login and urls.
