| I have questions about using subdomains. I am in the process of making a site that uses multiple subdomains. I'm intending each subdomain to be their own, dynamic world, with their own discussion boards and whatnot. To illustrate, here are some examples: boston.mysite.com chicago.mysite.comsandiego.mysite.com nyc.mysite.com nyc.mysite.com/forums nyc.mysite.com/personals nyc.mysite.com/blah-blah-blahThis is similar to the way [url]www.Craigslist.org[/url] (the cities are on the right side) and [url]www.MatchMaker.com[/url] are designed. Subdomains seem well-suited for something of this nature, as opposed to using subdirectories.Some questions I have (assuming using 100 subdomains):- I want the site to be fast, very secure, robust and scalable.... be able to scale to a traffic-heavy site like [url]www.usatoday.com[/url] or something as large. What front-end and back-end languages are recommended? I was thinking JSP/Java/J2EE/etc, Oracle, etc.... And of course, I will consult a db specialist but want to have some ideas for now.- As for hosting, I'll be outsourcing to some sort of managed hosting , what are some recommendations for something of this scale? www.above.net? www.rackspace.com?Any links or tutorials on subdomains and anything I mentioned will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.<edit> Moved to Other Topics forum </edit> |

| Well this is a SQL Server site. So we'd recommend SQL Server for the back end!Tara |
