Thanks Bird,
That is exactly what i want to do add a custom page in my root directory.

So i go to my domain directory via FTP and change the index.php to forum.php then where in the forum options can i update this? would't this change the address also?

Then how do i make a page that would be the first one people see when they go to mydomain.com

Thanks and sorry for all the questions i am a newbie
