    Hi all,

    I have uploaded my site with no problems.

    I now want to be able to test my site using the alternate URL but I wish for the live URL to be disabled.
    At the moment both URL's are working, however, I do not wish the site to go live yet.

    The only way I could do it was to stop IIS in the IIS Manager but Im not able to use the alternate URL when I do this.

    Can anyone suggest a way of disabling the Live URL and still allow me to test my site.

    THanks in advance

    Marc

    Hi Marc,

    What you might consider doing is using Request.ServerVariables('SERVER_NAME') if you're using an ASP or ASP.NET site and just perform a conditional redirect to a 'coming soon' page if the URL of the live site is used.

    Thanks winston for the quick reply!

    I am using an asp.net site.

    When using the Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") should this be embeded in the start up page (aspx page)of the web site?

    Thanks again

    Marc

    Thanks for the help.


    I created a 'Coming Soon' page and placed the Redirection in my start up page......
