I get the following error when specifying my beta website http://beta-136325.server1.dotnetsandbox.net Using themed css files requires a header control on the page. (e.g. <head runat="server" />). I also get the same error when specifying my website name + the name of the built in index page http://beta-136325.server1.dotnetsandbox.net/index.aspx I do NOT get the error when specifying my own page <a target="_blank" href="http://beta-136325.server1.dotnetsandbox.net/default.aspx">http://beta-136325.server1.dotnetsandbox.net/default.aspx</A> I renamed their index.aspx to index2.aspx (thus removing it from the default page list) and now everything is cool and loads correctly by only specifying the site url. Moral of the story: The page that specifies the order of the default pages (https://my.discountasp.net/addons/betahosting.aspx) is wrong on their website. Index.aspx is first, then Default.aspx Hope this helps people! David
thank you for pointing that out. i'll let the SA team know. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
No Problem...don't suppose you would reward me with actually hosting my domain name against my asp 2.0 site would you? I am so desperate to get a domain attached to that account that I am actually looking into setting up my own web server to host my stuff. david

re: domain names You know, most Domain Registrars provide "domain forwarding" and "domain-gripping". If not, change registrars. (or get an el-cheapo $8.99 domain at dodaddy.com ...no affiliation...don't buy all their other stuff.) domain forwarding simply means that if a client enters abc.com, then the registrar can auto-forward them to (eg.) http://sanbox.host.com/xyz/abc/123/ThisIsMyPage.aspx with domain gripping, the user would simply alwayssee abc.com in the address bar (and not the long ugly URL above), Note: (test this but) you may (?) have issues with passing parameters thru the address query string if you opt for domain gripping since you'd lose the http://abc.com?UserID=2034.( it would just get converted back to abc.com) Simply use other means such as Session("UserID")=2034 to create a global variable. Hope that helps! Cheers, RedDog
