Can't get it to work though, keep getting "This IP address cannot be used for browsing." I'm using .net c# to read the URI then generating a home page for each user, but on the wh4l server cannot seem to get *.domain.com to correctly redirect to the root. Am I missing something here? Thanks Bob    Report

It's very simple.  What's your domain name, I can get that to work for you.     Report

Go to control panel 'Domains' => 'SubDomain Name', add the sub-domain name, remove the '-- Enter a folder name --' text and click 'Add Domain'. Now, your sub-domain points to your root. 2. Go to 'Site Admin' => 'Set .NET App', click the 'change root's .net version' link of your sub-doman (it could take some time until your sub-domain is listed), and select the .NET version your application needs to run. 3. Go to 'Security' => 'File Permission', click the 'Edit' link of your root directory, select 'NETWORK SERVICE' from the drop-down list, select 'Read', 'Write', 'Execute' and 'Delete', and click the 'Make Changes' button. Your application needs this setting in order to create/delete directories/files. Note: Step 3 is only necessary, if 'NETWORK SERVICE' is not already set to 'RWXD'. However, it's much better to run websites from sub-folders instead from the root. I <3 WebHost4Life.com    Report
