where do I look to find name of the webserver was serve the client request.

You would find it in on the client browser side by looking at the headers returned from the server. Plenty of plugins for FF and IE will show you this.

Using dedicated application for each of the website on the server is disastrous for web servers that have limited amount of RAM. One busy website could quickly run our of resources while the other not-so-busy websites are keeping their resources idle.

Hey Omar

Superb cheklist with several issues I hadn't thought of, but for sure will incorporate in future site setups.

About the default content page I think I read somewhere a long time ago (maybe in the MS Press "Developing web applications" book for the 70-315 exam) that you should put Default.aspx in top of the list to save some search time.

Whether this is true or not I have this in my website creation practice. I add default.aspx, moves it to the top and delete default.asp and index.htm and also default.htm if I don't use the VS publishing feature (that feature puts a default.htm with a maintenance message on while files are being published).

Thanks for sharing :-)

Hi,

Are you sure about the new application pool for each new application? wont it increase the memory requirement?

When we define Session Null check conditionin Master Page cs file, it does not work for main aspx page load and we receive exceptions if session specific information is tried for retrieval; I was under the impression that Master page session null condition will take care of proper data generation; but it does not happen and we need to manage the session Null condition in Main Page as well, which is some times a PAIN.

Very useful guide. Thanks.

Do you have any recommendation for the 'Identity' property for the App Pool?

Do you create a new user for each Pool/site?

What about the Authentication method?

Thanks in advanced

I think that enabling content expiration without explanation may be dangerous for thouse who don't know about client-caching.

Great step by step guide! I follow exactly the same steps except i also disable the logging feature as i use Google Analytics for my stats.

To streamline the process, I normally create a new website from file with all the preset settings.

Cheers
