Several questions...

Hello...

I have several questions:

1. What it means "Domain Pointer to Root" add on?

2. If I buy a host plan with you, can I have several subdomains with you?
For example:
"www.mydomain.com" points to "/ root / myweb "
''subdomain1.mydomain.com" points to "/ root / subdomain1 "
''subdomain2.mydomain.com" points to "/ root / subdomain2 "

3. Can I access to the DNS records to add a CNAME record for mydomain.com?

Thanks!

 

1) If you have a main domain when you create your account it is the root default.
Then if you have several other domains you can add them to your site to also point to the root. Then it is very handy for any programming you use to catch incoming traffic to your site and use the added domains as you need.

2) Yes unlimited sub-domains is a feature add-on.

3) There are many ways to do this. If DASP added your root domain it's properties are available in your Control Panel. If however you use a service for your domain names, like GoDaddy, then you use the DASP provided DNS server addresses with your GoDaddy account. That's the way I do it and it's very handy.

Hope that helped. ;-)

 

ThanksWisemx.. Super...
But about point 2: In the feature add-on appears that all subdomains points to the root.
How I change that every subdomains points to a different directory?

I dont want to do it programatically because they are for test sites that later will be in their own domains.

Thanks

 

...Depending on which programming language you need to "sniff" the incoming traffic to your site then point them to that folder with the domain you want.
There are code examples in the KB, which is linked from the main DASP site.

 

Thanks... I found this article:

How to redirect a subdomain to a subdirectory
http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a...main-to-a-subdirectory.aspx?KBSearchID=257292

But this redirects
http://subdomain1.MyDomain.com to http://subdomain1.MyDomain.com/subdomain1

I want the url clean:
http://subdomain1.MyDomain.com shows always as http://subdomain1.MyDomain.com

and the contents from a folder different from root.
Is it possible?

Thanks

 

...There are lots of ways to do this on the IIS7 servers.
Search for the IIS7 URL rewriting, lots of help on the official IIS.net site.

This is something I've been meaning to create webcasts on but I've posted some links to articles in these forums already.
For example:
http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/arch...-multiple-domains-under-one-site-part-ii.aspx

 

mmm...

Well.. I need another kind ot hosting I think

I another as my actual one. There, I use a Control Panel to create a new subdomain, then I point it to a subdirectory and its ready.

Thanks anyway!

Wowww....

Thanks a lot of... Sound very cool... Just a last question before I get it:

DASP now offers Wordpress hosting...

Can I have my site (a .net app) in mydomain.com and my Wordpress blog in blog.mydomain.com?

Or just another combination as: mydomain.com as a Wordpress blog and subdomain.mydomain.com as a .Net app?

Thanks a lot of!

 

...I've never used PHP or Wordpress, hopefully one of the Staff will answer that later. ;-)

 

Hello Wisemx...
Who will answer us it?
Thanks!

 

You would be able to host it either way. Lets say you want to put your application on the root (mydomain.com) and have the blog on the subdomain.

First you need to add the subdomain to the account, by either using a Domain Pointer or the Unlimited Subdomain addon.

The Domain Pointer will allow you to add the 'subdomain.mydomain.com' only, but this is the cheaper option when you plan on just using 1-2 subdomains.

We do provide an Unlimited Subdomain addon which you can get by going to the Order Addons page [https://my.discountasp.net/addons/]. This will give you a Unique IP and wildcard, so anything.domain.com will point to the root of your account.

On either case, if you wanted to redirect the subdomain to a specific subfolder, you can do this through code, as shown in the following KB article:

http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a369/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx

You could also try using the URL Rewrite module if you are in a Windows 2007/IIS7 server, which allows you to make clean redirects, but it has a learning curve to it.

 

Thankssss

We're in!!!!
