I curerntly have a personal site set up using Classic ASP. I have been using .Net at work and want to start playing with .Net alongside my existing HostMySite site without disrupting it. Is it as simple as taking my project files and structure and putting them in a folder hanging off of the root?

For example, say my current domain is www.mydomain.com, and the root has all my classic asp pages, along with related sub folders. Can I create a new folder off the root called \NewNetStuff and place my .Net pages and sub folders there? My question is, will the server need to know anything else to distinguish these folders from the classic ASP folders when a page is requested by entering www.mydomain.com/NewNetStuff/start.aspx? Is there anything that HostMySite has to configure to enable this?

Thanks,

You don't necessarily need a new folder to work with .NET. Once the server receives a request for a page ending in .aspx, it invokes the necessary interpreter to run .NET code.

You will need to make sure you are on a server with .NET installed and Hostmysite will need to add the proper permissions to your root directory to run .NET within your website.

Thanks Juan, that's what I needed to know!
