I'm not a server guy, by any means. But I assume that all these Windows/CF shared servers (whether CT or someone else) are either using host headers or an IP to bind your main account/domain to a virtual Web site in IIS. In my limited understanding, to point a subdomain to another spot in your directory space, you'd need yet another virtual site in IIS bound to the host header.
If that's correct, I can see why it would be a pain in the ass for a large hosting service. Out of curiosity, what hosting services offer a way to control subdomains this way? By the way, one suggestion I can make -- if you're willing to spend just a bit more money -- is AHPHosting's virtual server. http://www.ahphosting.net. For $80 a month, you get your own virtual server, your own CF Standard, MySQL, shared SQL Server space, SmarterMail, SmarterStats, SmarterTicket. Guaranteed 1 Gb of memory bursting to 2 Gb. You get 5 dedicated IPs to distribute any way you want. And you can set host headers in IIS to match subdomains to your heart's delight. Resell a little of the space and you're ahead of the game. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:296207 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
