I want to organize my website inside a folder, not to put all those files in root directory. how can I make this possible, currently, if i type mydomain.com it will read the root (/) directory here is what I want to accomplish.. i put all the files of my site to a directory /Folder then, whenever I visit mydomain.com it should consider /Folder as the root, and it should read index.html of /Folder thanks
You will need to setup a redirect script. You can either code the redirect script with a response.redirect or use the URL rewrite module in IIS 7 Manager to create a redirect rule.
then what does domain pointer do? thanks. i know i can do it using a rewrite module, but is it the only way? how about the domain pointer, as available in the control panel?
The domain pointer is a feature that allows you to point an additional domain name to your site, but the process is still the same because it will start at the root not in a sub folder. Unfortunately this is how it is on a Windows platform configured as a shared hosting environment.
