Hi I’m setting up a chatroom for a client that already has subdomain in mind. I just want to ensure that I understand the install guide, so this may seem trivial:

My client would to make the Discourse instance be something like `foo.example.com`. Is this possible? Or must the Discourse for a subdomain be `discourse.example.com` or `talk.example.com` or `forum.example.com`?

Thanks!

Yes, any domain will work.
