Hey,

I've seen many sites with things like http://www.sub.site.com - www.sub.site.com as opposed to http://www.site.com/sub/ - www.site.com/sub/ (not real sites, btw) and I was wondering how you would go about doing that? I'm using an ASP server.

Any help?

Thanks,

silva

You would have to have access to the name server and setup a subdomain which can point anywhere you want, a folder or even another domain.

if your webhost will let you point your domain name at other nameservers you can use zoneedit.com free name server service, very easy to set up for muliple domain aliases

ask the company from witch you bought your domain name from, normally they provide some type of subdomain service for little or no cost...

You could try to use ASP code to do basically the same thing... If you place the code in the beginning your default web page (i.e. default.asp):

Sample wrote:

<%
dim sname
sname = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
sname = ucase(sname)
if InStr(sname,"SAMPLE1") <> 0 then
response.redirect "sample1"
elseif InStr(sname,"SAMPLE2") <> 0 then
response.redirect "sample2"
else response.redirect "welcome.asp"
end if
%>

This would redirect from "sample1.domain.com" to "domain.com/sample1/"

and "sample2.domain.com" to "domain.com/sample2/"

and everything else "??.domain.com" to "domain.com/welcome.asp"

It's not exactly the same as subdomains, but for simple redirection it works.
