I am trying to redirect from my root url to a specific temporary url, so I can develop my site behind the scenes and not have to worry about anyone visiting my site and being able to view the current status of my site. I was trying to do this using IIS7 and also with web.config, but can't seem to get it to work. Please help!
You should be able to use the redirect code in our knowledge base article here: http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a649/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx To redirect them to a different area of your site.
Thanks for the reply, I have a 301 redirect script that works if I navigate to that file directly, it then redirects me to the correct page that I want for temporary purposes. What I have is a NopCommerce installation on the server, as well as these single redirect pages that I have temporarily loaded. If I set the store to closed it does redirect me to a store closed page, but then due to being closed the store keeps logging me out of the system every couple of of minutes and this is not efficient when I am trying to develop the store. In IIS I have tried both index.asp and default.asp as the uppermost default documents, but when I load the domain it redirects me to the store which is really default.aspx. I just navigated to default.asp and correctly it took me to index.asp, but if I navigate to the root of the domain it shows me the store or default.aspx thanks
