    Add a domain pointer using your Site Manager. Then you can programically redirect that domain to subfolder.

    I've added the domain pointer, what would my next step be?

    Then you need to create a subfolder under your root via FTP, and upload your second site there.

    Use a redirect script so that the domain pointer is redirected to the subfolder.

    i've created the sub folder, but i'm not sure how to make the redirect script.
    Also, i don't have the domain on this host, what info do i need to link the domain to this sub folder?

    i've had a look at the example in the knowledge base. but i'm a little lost as to how to use it.

    <%
    If InStr( UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")), UCase("subdomain1.HostingAccountDomain.com") ) > 0 Then
    Response.Redirect("/subdomain1")
    ElseIf InStr( UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")), UCase("subdomain2.HostingAccountDomain.com") ) > 0 Then
    Response.Redirect("/subdomain2")
    ElseIf InStr( UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")), UCase("subdomain3.HostingAccountDomain.com") ) > 0 Then
    Response.Redirect("/subdomain3/home.asp")
    End If
    %>

    Where should i be putting this in my asp.net site?
    I know what to change "subdomain1.HostingAccountDomain.com" and "/subdomain1" but what do i change "SERVER_NAME" to?

    The redirect script is actually setup at the top of your startup page on the root.

    "SERVER_NAME" should remain the same.

    Are you sure its not working? Base off this telnet test it shows that it is being redirected.

    GET / HTTP/1.1

    OK ... I got it

    while writing that last post
    It came to me to simply put liquidsoulsessence.com
    instead of liquidsoulsessence.hereiamlive.com
    and it is all good now

    Thanks for your help

    i still haven't got this to work yet.

    This is my whole index.html page, is this correct?

    <%
    If InStr( UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")), UCase("dirtycityhearts.com") ) > 0 Then
    Response.Redirect("/DirtyCityHearts")
    End If
    %>

    <html>

    <header>
    <title>Firefly Beach Design Group</title>
    </header>

    <body>
    <img src="Firefly-Logo-3.png" alt="Coming Soon" />

    </body>
    </html>

    Try changing your file name from index.html to index.asp.

    I will create a new thread later. I finally got a set of rules that will handle everything properly including ajax.
