Stats: Win7 64bit, DynDns Pro wiht Custom DNS service purchased, Registered domain thru http://DynDNS.com, hosting website on IIS For the past year I've successfully hosted "company.org" website thru DynDNS. I need to add a sister site so I created on IIS a new website which is located at inetpub/www/newsite. I can access it on the lan using router internal ip (192.168.1.100/newsite as well as using "company.org/newsite" and also wan ip (71.99.179.XXX/newsite. Also check out using http://127.0.0.1/newsite. I created a new host "newsite.dyndns.org" and made it a webhop redirecting to "www.company.org/newsite" and used cloaking. "newsite.dyndns.org checks out fine on the dnscog, as well as open port (80) checks out. But, I keep getting "cannot find server" error when attempting to access using http://www.newsite.dyndns.org. Did I use the correct tool or is there something I should have done thu custonDNS? I created "newsite.company.org" in Custom DNS but not sure if I can use it for this purpose. Would prefer to if I can. Thanks in advance Jim |

You can create a host within your Custom DNS zone, e.g. http://newsite.company.org. If you are able to configure IIS to create a new site (instead of just a virtual directory), I would rather recommend a CNAME rather than a WebHop. You can also create a http://www.newsite.company.org hostname, if your users (for some reason) expect to be able to use a "www" prefix. With DynDNS Pro you can enable the wildcard feature to be able to use www.newsite.dyndns.org. Without the wildcard feature enabled, that won't work. www.newsite.dyndns.org and newsite.dyndns.org are technically completely separate hostnames. THank you thank you Thank you!!! I created the CNAME as you suggested and everything works as I need it too!!

Did you ensure that your WebHop redirection looks like this: newsite.dyndns.org --> http://www.company.org/newsite/ In case you just entered " |
