Hello All,

I have some very specific requirements for a reseller account that my current host is having problems providing - to be fair, they are quite unusual requiremants - my current host has been very good with everything else, and is very cheap.

I need to be able to run ASP, ASPX (asp.net) and PHP scripts.
(no problem so far).

This is the issue - I need a way of "URL Replacing" all incoming URLs from what looks like a "static" page to a dynamic page. Something similar to the mod_rewrite facility on Apache, but my requirements are also for ASP and ASP.NET too, in addition to PHP.

The URL Replace script needs to be seperately (and very easily) configurable for each website.

My other (more usual) requirements are:
Disc space - not a major issue - 500 to 1000Mb
Bandwidth - not a major issue - over 10Gb per month, but it needs to be easily increased, if necessary.
I'd prefer the HELM control panel, but only because I'm used to this - any other suggestions will be considered.
I need to have a reasonably fast turnaround to support requests.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Darren W.

Check vonetwork.net or mediopia.biz ;)

I tried the vonetwork.net homepage, but it took AGES to load - this put me off slightly...

Thanks,
Darren.

Your specific requirements can be broken down into 2 components...

1] An ASP program that rewrites urls for DomainPointers. For this you need an ASP programmer or a ASP/PHP based URL Redirection script from Hotscripts.com

Yes, you also need DomainPointers from your host for this.

2] You need a Windows Web Hosting account that supports ASP, .Net and PHP.


If you try for Part1 in Part2, you will be just limiting your options severely. Just look around for a Windows account that allows DomainPointers to a reasonable extent.
