Sub domain - Windows Server "janefield2002[ at ]yahoo.com" <janefield2002[ at ]yahoo.com> 6/15/2007 9:18:54 AM Hi there, I am not using a hosted server (Windows 2003), but my own server with a static IP. I would like to have a subdomain that maps to a particular directory. Could you please advise on how this could be done? My domain is registered with GoDaddy and I believe they support subsomains... however, I believe this would work only if I hosted it on their website... Thanks!

Web Servers (IIS etc) can however setup virtual servers, aka sites, which provide different content based on the server domain name. My guess is this (web sites) are what you really wish to implement so just use your IIS server to configure new sites and differentiate them by DNS name. In this case, you will NOT (typically) setup "subdomains" but merely additional server names (with extra tag levels if you wish). www.domain.com ----> some content another.domain.com ---> some other content web.evenmore.domain.com ---> even different content Each of these would be a distinct "site" or "virtual server" on a single web server.

Sure, right click on the server and create a new site, then set the site to use the DNS name(s) you wish, along with the path to the files in the properties for the site. -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP http://www.LearnQuick.Com (phone on web site) >> In this case, you will NOT (typically) setup "subdomains" but merely >> additional server names (with extra tag levels if you wish). >> >> www.domain.com----> some content >> another.domain.com ---> some other content >> web.evenmore.domain.com ---> even different content >> >> Each of these would be a distinct "site" or "virtual server" on a single >> web server. > >
