one of my biggest issues when i hosted with crystaltech (and this was 4 years ago, so things may have changed), was that there was no facility for easily creating a subdomain (i use charlie.griefer.com more than i use www.griefer.com). back then you had to programatically parse the URL, i believe, and do redirects. if you search their support forums, there are a number of threads on the subject (in addition to the one you reference)... but yeah, i think that was pretty much the way it had to be done. /me not a big fan of CT coldfusion hosting. -- "Scientists tell us that the fastest animal on earth, with a top speed of 120 feet per second, is a cow that has been dropped out of a helicopter." - Dave Barry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:296190 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
