All you need for the $99 one-time, self-supported install is a domain name.

The domain name is not included, you must purchase and control the domain name yourself.

You can put Discourse at `www.example.com` or `example.com` if you want, but we only recommend that if you are absolutely sure you will never, ever have any other content on the domain.
