From vs.2005 should I copy the project to the root?

This is my first attempt at puttingour web application on a host. From vs.2005 should I copy the project to the root?

I guess I'm looking for some insider help on the best practise for this. Anything you can share with a newbie is appreciated.

Thank you,

If you can yes, and you also have the ability to create an application for a folder in your Control Panel.
The root is an application by default so placing your app on the root will work right away.
Creating an extra application is helpful for additional instances, even blending classic ASP with ASP.NET

 

Ok, so what possible issues will I face if I create a subfolder for the application? (domain.net/client1)

Thank you again,

Also, sorry about not entering a subject!

 

One important thing to remember when setting up an app in the subdirectory, is that you need to define that subdirectory as an "ASP.NET app directory" in your control panel. Sothree main steps:

1. Create the folder
2. Copy your website there, from VS2005 or FTP
3. Enable the folder in your control panel as an ASP.NET application folder

Hope that helps.
