URL rewriting in shared hosting

[nickjohnston]

Is it possible to rewrite untidy URLs to friendly URLs on Web Hosting UK shared Windows hosting?

Currently using static rewriting in the web.config file results in a 404, as does using URLRewriting.net dll in the Bin folder, for dynamic rewriting.

An alternative solution would be excellent if neither of these can be used.

Hi Nick,

We do support ISAPI_ReWrite for rewriting URLs on all of our Windows shared hosting servers & you can find complete info here: ISAPI_Rewrite documentation contents

Please let us know if you have any more questions for us, we'd be happy to help

Thanks for quick reply - I've settled with using my existing setup but appending .aspx to rewritten URLs.

Another brief problem - What should I use as a fully qualified directory in order to upload files through an ASP.NET page to my website's directory?

You're welcome Nick, could you please PM me with your domain name so I can provide you with the exact/absolute path to your website's root folder. Or you can open up a ticket/email us [[email protected]] with the details. Standing by to assist,
