I'm having trouble with my internal DNS that my hosting company hasn't been able to help me with, so I searched for a community of people who have been doing this for ages to, hopefully, get some assistance. I know this is kind of long winded but I don't really know how to describe the problem any more succincly, so I apologize.

Here's the situation in brief. Our website used to be hosted on a Windows server that we rented out of a data center and administered directly through remote desktop and IIS. A few months ago we hired a web developer to revamp the site and he moved us to a solution hosted with Bluehost on a LAMP server. The site is at www.dmx-direct.com, which also happens to be the internal name of our domain set up through Small Business Server.

When we were still self-hosted, users internally couldn't access the website in their browser with dmx-direct.com - it tried to take them to an intranet site on the Small Business Server. You had to use www.dmx-direct.com to tell the computer you wanted a resource not hosted within the local network. When we moved over to Bluehost, we created a www record in our internal DNS manager that led to the new web server's IP address: 173.254.94.238. That worked, no problem.

Just this week, we decided to start a knowledgbase to keep some internal information, so I installed a wiki on the Bluehost server in a subfolder: dmx-direct.com/knowledgebase. If I am outside the company's network - on my cell phone, at home, anywhere, I can access the site no problem. But inside the network, the one place I actually need access to this resource, I cannot get through. I'm getting a 404 error:

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

IIS is the platform we were using when we self hosted; does this mean the DNS thinks this traffic should go to the old server instead of the new one? The funny thing is, if I enter the direct URL of a test image I created, http://www.dmx-direct.com/knowledgebase/test2.jpg, I can access that on our internal network. But if I modify that to the index page of the wiki, http://www.dmx-direct.com/knowledgebase/index.php, I get a 404 error. If the problem really were DNS related, then I would be unable to access anything in that folder regardless of file type... right? And it was my understanding that DNS only dealt with top level domains anyway, so anything in a subfolder should be accessable since it's a part of the same site.

I'm sorry this post goes on and on and on but I hope providing all the details I can makes it easier to solve the issue. I'm pulling my hair out, I'm well out of my depth with this issue, and I have about 6 angry users clamoring for this thing to be up and running yesterday, so any help anyone can offer about configring this - either on the SBS server or on the Bluehost side, would be greatly appreciated. ]]> Domain Names AlexG2490 http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?277689-DNS-management-for-subfolders http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?277539-Where-can-I-register-a-free-dot-com-or-net-Domain-Name&goto=newpost Tue, 07 May 2013 09:59:20 GMT Hi!

Cybersquatting or domain name squatting is something that needs special consideration as it has gained immense popularity in the world of cyber crime in the last two decades with the growing popularity of Internet. But before knowing anything, the foremost thing that you should know is what exactly cybersquatting is. Cybersquatting means buying a domain name which is, by no means, related to the business of the buyers in order to sell them to the company which needs it most so that more profit can be gained from the company to whom they are selling the domain name. Those who are engaged with this job are called cybersquatters. Cybersquatters make incredible amount of money with this incredible strategy of theirs. They sell the domain names which they have registered a long time back to the unfortunate visitors who are in search for a unique domain name with an intention to spread their business in the online market. The only intention of the cybersquatters is to achieve financial gain from the hapless customers.

Finding a right domain name is vital as it provides your company an identification that helps you to reach to your valuable customers. After choosing a right host, you need to give your precious time on finding a right domain name. Your domain name should be distinct from your competitors so that your clients can find you easily. But selecting a right domain name from a plethora of domain names is little bit difficult. However, a little bit creativity and a little bit knowledge can help you find a great name for your website. Here are some helpful tips that definitely help you a great deal in this respect.
Unique Domain Name

Choose a domain name that is unique and at the same time it must be easy to spell. It must leave a mark on your customers. It should be such that attracts your clients at once. To make it expressive you need to add words related to your business and products to your domain name. For instance, if you are associated with local business and products, incorporate words like city name to your domain. It helps you getting the local customers. Your domain name should be easy so that the online visitors can type it without any difficulty. They often lose concentration and feel agitated if they need lot of time in typing a single website name. Try to keep the name as short as possible as it allows them to remember it easily.
Choose the Right Extensions

Your domain name is basically consisted of two parts: one part contains the “unique name” and the other one is the “Top Level Domain” (TLD) or a “dot extension”. A domain name having different TLD extensions appears as a new domain name registration to several different web addresses. Most business people use the most general domain extensions such as .com, .net and .org. All these extensions are unable to provide you an unique domain name as these are mostly used almost by all. You can take the help of several other domain name extensions that will prove apt to your website such as .tv, .info, .mobi, .biz and so on. Regional domain name extensions are also available including .co.uk (United Kingdom), .ca (Canada), .us (USA) and lots more. You can choose any of these local extensions based on your business location. The .us.com extension can also be used other than .com. It enables the customers to know that your business mainly focuses on the United States customers.
Spelling Rectification

Confusion and misspellings must be ignored. Your domain name spelling should be such so that your customers can easily remember. If you add hyphens and something that is hard to remember, your customers will end up with failures. He/she will type your website and end up with opening an entirely different website. Though adding hyphens to your domain name helps tempting the online visitors but avoidance of it will be fruitful as they are tend to forget that.
Shortlist the Domain Names

Make a list of some domain names that you find suitable for your company. Once you are done with it, now is a time for testing. Notice the responses of your clients, friends and relatives. Check whether you can pronounce it easily. If you get positive responses then stick to it. If not try another one. You can take some expert’s aid if you are in confusion. Search the internet to find out that the domain name you have chosen for your company website, somebody else is having the same domain name with different extension. If so change it at once because it can affect your company and customers.
Domain Name Registration must be Done as Quick as Possible

Register the domain name as fast as possible if you are ready with your domain name. Millions of domain names get registered every day. The name that you discover tomorrow might not be there the next day. This implies that internet business is growing at rapid speed and so as the online business competition.
Have a Domain Name with Several Extensions and Variations

Registering a domain name with various extensions and misspellings of it will be very effective as it enables the online users to visit your website even when they mistype your web address on their browser.
Your Domain Name should Talk for your Company

A domain name should be such so that it reflects the content of your company. The visitors can easily guess what your website is all about. For example, CareerBuilder.com is a website that helps you building your career.
Domain Selection Tool

Websites like Domjax and AJAXWhois are free tools that enable you to get domain names for your business.

If all the above mentioned points fail to work for your company then you can obtain a domain name from a web hosting company. But to get the best possible results you should do a lot of research and a little bit caution is needed before choosing a web hosting company. Choosing a right domain name from a trustworthy company is very essential as the most integral part of your website business depends on the domain name of your company. Purchasing a domain name from an illegitimate company may harm your company to a great extent. Get in to a deal with a company who you trust for your domain name registration so that you can get its services when you need most.
