Yea, if they can't set you up, then I'd say get a new hosting company, but most I've dealt with are pretty good when you ask the right question. I can't imagine any host forcing a business to use those archaic url's they default to. Chances are your developer is just used to having everything set up for them in the first place.
Good luck --SJ _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharyn Schmidt Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 12:55 PM To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] WAY OT: For the DNS Gurus Your DNS idea is fine. You can point your DNS to whatever you like - the key to having your WWW site show up properly is the Virtual Host setting in Apache or the Host Header settings in IIS. It's extraordinarily simple to configure, and is likely something your web host can configure if asked. They just need to setup a virtual host / host header so that when a request comes in for 'emergency.floridadistillers.com' it goes to your data. Thanks, I'll talk to the hosting company and see if they can set this up for us. So. what exactly do you folks distill anyhow? :-) Cruzan Rum, Sobieski Vodka and a variety of "ready to drinks". Unfort., we do not get free samples! Sharyn
