I actually do this in one of my sites... Someone enters
I just scan the querystring:
on error resume next
strAbsUrl will contain the bits after .com/...
http://www.mywedding.co.nz/
the database for <username>. If it exists there's a response.reditect to a
pageload.asp that will build the page and return it, otherwise the 404.asp
shows a "Not found" message.
strRequest = Request.QueryString
strAbsUrl = LCase(Mid(strRequest, Instr(Instr(1, strRequest, "://") + 3,
strRequest, "/")))
strAbsUrl = right(strAbsUrl,len(strAbsUrl) - 1)
on error goto 0
