    Re: virtual hosts

    i know html and the link was not ment to be a link. websites like aol have sites like webmail.aol.com where they have aol.com and a subdomain. can i make sub domains with windows server 2003 with IIS 6.0 on a dyndns.org website.

    Re: virtual hosts

    Guess I dont understand why if you have yor own 2003 server running IIS you just dont create your own
    subdomains on it and host your own website?

    Re: virtual hosts

    Here you go, I researched it a little for you and this is straight from the dyndns website's FAQ

    How can I make www.myhostname.dyndns.org work?

    You need to use the "Enable Wildcard" option, either in your client or in the web form. This will cause *.yourhostname.dyndns.org to point to the same IP address as yourhostname.dyndns.org.
    So then in your server software you'd have to set it up to recognize the wildcard and display the correct webpage that you have set up on the server according to the wildcard (in other words the www. is acting like a webmail.). Your server software would be the one to differentiate the wildcards though not dyndns.

    Re: virtual hosts

    is there a way to get it so that http://subhost.dws05.ath.cx point to http://dws05.ath.cx/subhost/ insted of every sub domain pointing to http://dws05.ath.cx?

    Re: virtual hosts

    i fixed this with a php script which gets the sub domain and redirects to the folder named with the name of the subdomain like http://home.dws05.ath.cx will forward to /home

    Re: virtual hosts

    Apache > IIS

    In apache you can define root DIR. Dont know about IIS, but that might be better than php.
