 Topic: What version of Windows?
Posted: 14 August 2004 at 7:11am |
Okay, I am a bit rusty on what versions of Windows allow what and I need to know one thing.
What versions of Windows allow multiple top-level domains?
I got Windows XP Pro, which allows one top-level (unless it can handle more and I am wrong). But I need a copy of Windows which allows me to have more than one so I can develop websites. At the moment, with XP Pro, all I can do is work with a sub-directory or use the localhost directory and remove files I have there any way and import the new ones.
I only want it for web-development with ASP and ASP.NET so it's just the one licence I need (and cheap as possible!). I can get 2000 Pro, but it doesn't have the top-level domain support (so I am to beleive at the moment!).
Any help is great. Cheers!
[Also, if you have your own opinions on what is the better Windows to use then please say so. I may splash out more if it's worth the extra bucks!]

http://localhost/iishelp/ Should give you what you need.
IIS on xp pro works on virtual host basis. You can assign any directory on your machine as a web site, Assign separate ip's for it, etc... Running a couple dozen different development sites on XP pro at the moment.
BTW: - Had this IIS Forum in my Bookmarks - http://forums.aspfree.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12

Aren't they running like http://localhost/site1, http://localhost/site2 and so on? What I want to be able to do is run it like http://site1/, http://site2/, and so on.

AFAIK for that you would need to use Windows Server 2003 or 2000 because they both support Host headers.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to do that?

It's how I write programs for sites. I use the root folder, I don't like using the virtual directory (just funny like that). It's easier for people to remeber a url for a sub-directory without having the extra virtual directory level.
