Yes, there are some things that are unclear. When you say that your client have uploaded subdomains, what do you mean? Has he created subdomain names or subdomain sites, or is it something Site Creator specific? How does your mail domain come into the picture? Is your application sending mail? --- b { font-weight: normal; }

hi.. actaully he created some subdomains Folder just like a main one in which we upload our project..so, when i try to run my project from these subdomains URL it does not work so i wanted to ask that whether i have to put my whole project in all the subdomain folders individually or is there any way by which these subdomain can directly be link with the main domain folder.so these links will work automatically i think now it is something clear.. or yet u didn't got my problem plz tell me the basic concept of subdomain and how can we use these subdomains. thanx

Standard question #1: What do you mean by "not working"? Standard question #2: What error message do you get? A subdomain is a name that is completely independent from the domain name. The two names doesn't even have to point to the same server. The most common subdomain is www. Usually the www subdomain is handled by the same web application as the domain, e.g. www.guffa.com and guffa.com point to the same site. If the subdomains are set up to point to separate folders on the server, the folders are separate applications, and you need to upload everything to each folder. If all the subdomains should use identical code, they could instead have been set up to be handled by the same application. Then you would only have one folder to upload to. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

In IIS console, open the properties for the web site that you want to handle the names. In the "Web Site Identification" section there is an "Advanced" button, that will open a window where you can add identities for the site. The "Host Header Name" is where you put the subdomain names. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

hello i follow ur steps.. but i didn't get the "Web Site Identification" tab in my Application Properties Window There are only following tab 1.Directory 2.Document 3.Directory Security 4.HTTP Headers 5.Custom Errors there is no "Web Site Identification Tab" or Option in Project Properties. Plz tell me exactly from where i can get this Option. I also ref. this site too. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308163[^] thanx

The "Web Site Identification" is not a separate tab, it's on the "Web Site" tab. The first tab when you open the properties of a web site. The tabs that you listed is not from the properties of a web site, it's from the properties of a folder. Are you really sure that you have subdomains? There is no subdomain pointing to that folder, as you can't point a subdomain to a regular folder. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
