mod rewrite/ Isapi-rewrite

Hi,

Im new to all this stuff and hoping one of the experts can help.

If I have a website hosted by another company will they be able to set these re writes up for me or is it something I need to do myself.From what I have have researched I get the impression that these re writes are done either by a hosting company or by a systems administrator who has their server inhouse?

Any help/ advise would be great

Thanks

I don't know of any that will do them for you. Basic mod_rewrites are pretty easy to do if you copy and paste the code you'll find for them all over for example these forums if you search.

If you're doing shared hosting, and have dreams about getting isapi rewrite on IIS, dream on. If you're on Apache, you can do it yourself through .htaccess.

Doing this type of stuff is just another type of web programming, very few places will do your custom programming for you for free.

Thanks for the info.
Greatly appreciated.
