Hi there @Falco , I don’t actually know about that. However, I am going to leave it for now. If I have any further questions or concerns, I will create another topic. Thanks for the help anywhere

One of the reasons that I have left it for now is that I don’t really know what I am doing. So, if anyone has created a video on how to set it up on Oricle Cloud, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, will I have to purchase a domain?

You should use this blog post: How to setup Discourse for free on Oracle Cloud . It explains how to set it up fairly well.
