My webhost has offered to enable IIS http compression on the server for me.

Before I respond to them, can someone who knows please tell me if this is the correct step to take?

And if it is, then do I enable Gzip or the other compression and if the latter, what level?

Thanks for any help with this.

Thanks for the reply.

I take it to mean that IIS compression is a third option on top of the two varieties offered in DNN 4.40? hmm... this gets ever more confusing.

Webhost4life will have offered to enable it because I have a VPS account with dedicated resources.. and probably because they didn't know what else to tell me when I asked about compression in DNN.

I'll tell them not to enable it as I'd prefer to get the built-in DNN version working properly if possible.. unless IIS compression is a preferable technology? I had imagined, from reading all the posts about compression, that one needs to have good control over what it compresses.

So.. has anyone got a 4.40 site with subportals working with compression turned on?

Because my host portal does work with it turned on, I assume it must be something in the way DNN or the server handles extra domains for sub-portals...?

I can't even tell if this is a bug or not or whether I should post it in Gemini.

Thanks for any further advice.
