Probably will, as long as they have that archaic system of server configuration.
On mine, your domain name will find your site, no difference if it is on a Windows/IIS server. or a Linux/Apache server. I never have used those screwy set up types. Example: http://www.strictlyhodaka.com Rhode Island http://samcfug.org San Antonio http://www.treatyoakhomes.com Houston, TX http://www.muvclub.asn.au Melbourne, Australia Are all on the same server and the same IP number. Just seems easier for both the client and the administrator. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
