Adding a New MapName

Thats not what I mean (I think) .. as it is, I can add something like this ...

something.mywebsite.com and map it to a specific IP (external IP) ....

But Id like to know if it can be done in ASP how it is done in the control panel ..
I also realise that this service may cost .. not a problem ..

the reason why it cant just be a response.redirect is that it would be something like NO-IP.com for remote CCTV DVRs ..

Ive got the actual software side working, this part is just an idea rather than just emailing the clients the IP ..

Also, this would moreso be for a few clients only, as the actual software would be sold to other CCTV Dealers/Installers so they can set up their clients ..
this way they control and customize the software and not have to rely on NO-IP or DynDns always being up/down ..

in addition each of them would sign up for an account with DASP ..
Right now its more of an idea, but i do have the audience to plug this idea to and see if they would be interested ..
including a ton of CCTV Distributors, Dealers, Retailers, and installers around the globe..

Thanks

LOL .. okay ..

You guys have a service in your online control panel which allows Mapping to an IP .. A Record Service ..
Is there anyway to do that ourselves giving that our script logs in with the appropriate authorisation etc ..

In Otherwords if I sign someone up id like them to have a theirname.mydomain.com ..
but pointing to an external IP (not response.redirect) ..

Without me having to go in the control panel to do this ..
and without contacting you guys .. (or it could contact you guys if it had to .. )
just want it somewhat automatic .. each one would have to be verified anyway at the least by the site's admin..

So basically a NO-IP service ...
If it will cost something as a service for X amount of Mapped Named, I just need to know also ..

Just want to know if it is doable ... as it does it in the control panel with .Net

thanks

So you want to add a new A record in your DNSfor newsite.yourdomain.com to point to an external IP?

Currently the only way to do this is via the control panel.

Dont know, Id call the Dealers/Installers Groups for now and they'd each require a seperate domain name hosting account ..
so that would depend on the Group and how many clients they have ... they could have alot ..
but like i said ,.. it would be a service they pay for X amount .. they would also require basic hosting ofcourse to run the admin side for signing up clients .. basic Access DB ..

I dont know how well the idea will go over, but I do know they like things that keep people using their company name.. .
so instead of giving a client a DDNS name to his DVR called client1.gotdns.com (which so many are already taken anyway) he can make it client1.dealer.com

The other thing that they'll like is that the user wont have to enter the whole domain .. just the user name .. its like NO-Ip and DynDns but on a smaller scale and more personallized. .
or more specific for the industry. I know its not new, but the fact that they can do it with their own domain name, and have someone else host it so they dont have to worry about that part .. is nice.

Basically once I know its doable .. then I can take the idea to them .. see what kind of interest would be in it, then get back to you guys.
There's just no way I could host a DDNS service in this country, so Im not even looking at that route .. and would want a hosting company that basically takes care of all that stuff // what can be done in ASP I can do myself ... if it can be done .. ive noticed a component called Mint DNS .. but then thats a 3rd party com and I dont think you guys support it ..

Basically these Groups are spread out around the globe, most in the US, some in Canada, UK, Australia, and some other countries .. such as my own.. even some Asian & South American Countries. Basically its members on a CCTV Forum which I Admin ...

The exe program I wrote last night works that it talks to a Remote ASP page and signs up a user, and also checks the Users IP every X amount of minutes/hours .. obviously there is a limit so they dont spam the domain and also sends and encryption code back and forth to verify. Basically it will be easy to do something where It emails them whenever the IP changes .. wrote that ASP code along time ago .. but then that means checking their email .. different thing .. could be added in also .. Also, I could easily inegrate it into my own Custom Remote Viewer, but then thats for only 1 brand of DVR (right now) .. where it looks up their user acount on the remote ASP page and then sends the current IP back to the Remote Viewer ..

But Id like to do it the first way if possible .. once again they'll pay for it .. hosting, and the A Record Service .. maybe not a basic Hosting account then .. perhaps one of the other ones or a customized one ..?

Thanks

Hi,

Is there a way in ASP to add a new myname.myweb.com?

I see we can do it in the control panel, just wondering if this can be done in classic asp?

Thanks

With their addon Subdomains feature you can easily filter URL hits with either Case or ElseIf statements in ASP 3.
