People have been saying over and over again not to use GoDaddy. I have successfully used GoDaddy for years to support multiple sites for multiple people.

I have always used a throwaway url to build a site, and then added a portal alias for the existing url when it was time to switch over. I easily made the existing url the primary url of the account. This wasn't working in the new plesk hosting. I had a fresh 7.06 install and then updated this to 7.4 something.

I called at 3:16 on Sunday to try to figure it out with Plesk. I had to totally rename the hosting account to get it to be the primary url. Once I did this I was getting 404 errors all over the place for every subpage. 

I investigated, tried things, and then called back at 5:05 to ask if the microsoft hotfix had been applied to the server:

http://www.dnnsoftware.com/answers/version-734-problem

Even though this was about extensionless urls, it fixed in that case. They said they would get back to me about the hotfix within 24 to 48 hours.

 

I called back at 11:40 on Tuesday to get an update to make sure that my request didn't go into a black hole. They had no ticket on file. It went into a black hole. They told me that they couldn't even TELL me if the hotfix was applied or not due to security reasons and because it was a shared hosting environment. They said no other hosting company would tell you if a hotfix was applied or not as well. I asked so no one can run extensionless urls on a godaddy shared hosting environment? They said DNN is not great at pathing, they couldn't help me, and go get support from DNN, without telling me what the server was running.

So, questions, has anyone successfully used the PLESK hosting to change the primary url on GoDaddy? Has anyone run extensionless URLs on GoDaddy (something that I want to do)? Am I just totally technologically inept?

Does anyone have equipvalent uptime, pricing, as GoDaddy who run friendly DNN servers where hotfixes are applied and they let you know that it can run DNN?

I have a MAJOR site where I need this question answered asap.

I am going back to the first primary to see if that fixes things, but I also found this: 

http://jeffgraves.me/tag/extensionless-url/

ASP.NET Routing is a powerful feature introduced in .NET 3.5 SP1 and included with .NET 4.0 that allows a developer to route URL’s that are not real files. There are several ways you can accomplish this same task, but having it in the ASP.NET pipeline allows the developer great flexibility in how URL’s are routed. However, it does not always work “out-of-the-box” for devs. The most common error I’ve seen is a 404 error – meaning the page cannot be found.

There can be several contributing factors. If you are attempting to utilize extenionless URL’s, ensure you have the appropriate IIS hotfix installed: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980368. More commonly however, the issue is a result of the module not firing for your request type. The easy fix is to add runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests=”true” to the modules tag in your web.config. However, that could have performance implications as you are now telling IIS to ignore the preCondition setting for all modules. The alternative solution is to remove the managedHandler preCondition for the URLRouting module:

    <modules>
      <removename=“UrlRoutingModule“ />
      <addname=“UrlRoutingModule“type=“System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule“ preCondition=“”/>
    </modules>

Changing the name of the hosting account back to the name that I don't want it to be fixes the url problem. I can now get to all of the subpages of the site, but it doesn't have the primary domain name that I want.

if you want to modify primary domain address, you need to add the new one to the Site Aliases (in Admin > SIte Settings) and make it primary.

Sebastian, I did do that. It is the primary site alias, but the initial primary alias is listed below as well and it doesn't have a trash can next to it, so it is what the system is currently using. I have canonical redirect to the primary because, while it is a throwaway url, it still pertains. The site map goes to what I want to be the primary url, but the wrong url is showing up in the url locator box at the top of the page.
