Hi All,
We are developing an application which provides users to create their own website and assign a domain name.we are almost done,but one thing that was left is once the user completes his site and assign a domain name then we need to register domain name .One way of doing this is we can integrated with any of the providers who provide API for domain name registration..B ut I wanted to know if there is any way that we can write programtically to configure in our IIS.Please ,can any one help me out this at earliest as I am in need of this immediately,Thi s is something similar in freewebs.com.
Thanks in advance.

Why would you need to configure anything in your IIS for it?
If your IIS is up and running and serving up a webpage, just point the A record for the domainname you registered to the IP address that goes to the computer housing the IIS website?
Hi ...
Thanks for the response.
I am not that good in this concept.Can u please brief me what exactly u meant to say .for example I have created a website and assigned a domain . for this domain we will have a url mapped
http://250.198.10.11/NewDealerSite.a spx?sid=1 -This is the url that will be passed
www.mysite1.com --- this is the domain name to be registered.for above link.
Sid will differ for each user that is the parameter that we pass .Now can you tell me taking this as an example .Sorry,if I trouble u.But I really wanted to know the implementation.
Thanks

Well for example if I have a server at 64.64.64.23 and i bought the domainname "mydomain" I would simply tell the dns settings for the domain that "mydomain.c om" should go to 64.64.64.23.
Then when people put that "mydomain.c om" in their browser it will go to my server and my website.
That is the most basic entry for a nameserver.
But here I need to do it dynamically programatically .we can't do it manually,That is what I am looking for
Thanx
Hi All..
Can anyone help me out in knowing some information related to domain name .I wanted to assign domain names through my application ,is there any way where i can register in Dns server .if so,how long does this process take .
Thanks In Advance
Do not double post your questions. If you feel that your question has been neglected, you can reply to the original question to "bump" it back to the top.

I saw this post today and thought you might be interested on testing the tool I use to find domain names. It's a great tool to combine domain names. www.rapidkid.com
I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post url's in this forum.
hope you find this tool helpful

Just a quick comment on the sequence of your work flow...
You said you are - Assigning a domain name
- Building the web site
- Registering the domain name
That is going to come back and bite you some day. At some point you are going to assign a domain name because it was available on Monday, build the site, then try to register the domain name on Tuesday after someone else has bought that name.
You really want to get the domain registered at the point where the customer approves it. Then you can take as much time as you like to build.
From what I have read, the OP wants to build a full end-to-end ERP system so customers can buy web hosting and a domain and have the two automatically linked together.
This would involve a multi-step process: - Become an ICANN (or country-specific) registrar and register with the appropriate registry to be allowed to do this. Then get their API (I'm guessing they're gonna be using something like SOAP, XMLRPC or some other kind of server-side XML transfer).
- When your customer registers a domain, the domain has to be registered on your nameservers. Set up a nameserver with your domain (contact your registrar and ask for "glue" records - you'll need a server with 2 Internet-accessible IPs for this).
- Read here for the innards of the Microsoft DNS API. This will tell you how to utilise the DNS WMI Provider (using dnsapi.dll) to query and manipulate DNS records via WMI on Windows 2000 and later.
Once you've done this, you're at a stage where your customer can register a domain via your website (which then gets registered with the registry via that XML call) and then the DNS records are added to your nameservers (so the domain actually points somewhere).
Then, you want to take that domain, and read up on Microsoft's IIS API so you can set up a new website with host header mappings that match the domain that's just been registered, along with setting up new subfolders and adding the domain to mail server software so you can also provide email.
In a nutshell, that's the programmatic process for a web app that sells web hosting, domains and email.
Hope this helps.

What is the best function to check if a domain name exists. I had read
somewhere that checkdnsrr() can do the job, but unfortunately it is
not giving correct result all the time. For example it reports that
netvoice.com does not exist but when I go to domain registration
websites they indicate that the domain name exist.
Thank you

Suppose I register a domain name, MyDomain.com, through register.com (or any
other of the many domain name registrars).
I own the domain name. The domain name goes into the global DNS database.
As the facilitator in this process, exactly what does the registrar *own*
with respect to my specific domain name and/or the registration process?
Briefly, what role does InterNIC play in all of this?

Hi all. I've got an app that dumps a user id into a session after
successful login. the login page is http://www.mydomain.com/login.php.
If the user visits pages on my site without the www (i.e.,
http://mydomain.com/foo.php), the session works fine and login state is
maintained.
If he visits http://www.mydomain.com/foo.php, the app drops the
logged-in state.

While I agree with the sentiment, the oringinal title on this thread
("OT: Specially for , why you should always use example.com
for obfuscating domains") is wrong. There are other reserved domain
names besides example.com.
The search for reserved domain names should start with RFC 2606
( http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html ) which defines;
