We are in the process of developing a .NET based IIS hosted web application as part of a re-platforming project. The original web app is on a Netscape server, in the process of migration we need to point the dns to the IIS server so that the requests are responded by IIS. at the same time we would still need the Netscape server so as to redirect the users from the IIS web app for the regions of the web site which the new application doesn't process (yet).
The old application is frame based, so we plan on using IFrames in the content area (of a master page in web client software factory) and use a URL rewrite engine to render pages from the old system in the iframe.
We also need to point the DNS entry which currently points to the Netscape server to IIS.
Are there and best practices for the above activities?
Maybe this link can help: Migrating a Web Server to IIS: Basic Steps
It discussed the steps you can take to get ready for Internet Information Services (IIS). In this article, the author takes a "nuts and bolts" approach to migrating an individual Web server.
You'll find detailed information about migrating configuration settings and content to a server running IIS 5.0 from another type of Web server, such as Apache HTTP Server or Netscape Enterprise Server.

In OutOfProcess hosting model, there are 2 web servers i.e. one internal web server and one external web server. The internal web server is called Kestrel and the external web server can be IIS, Apache, or Nginx.
When Kestrel is the cross-platform web server for the ASP.NET Core application, and support request from all platforms, then what is the use of external web server?
The IIS or apache contains a lot of advanced feature. For example, advanced logging, GUI ,failed request trancing and other feature. It is very easy to configure and find the logs more easily.
The Kestrel need all settings by the codes and if you need special feature, you need to develop by yourself or changing the codes.
We have 3 tiered architecture:
Web Server - public (web application deployed) App Server - private (webApi deployed) Db Server - private (sql server installed) And my co-worker said, we have this architecture like this, because its a standard architecture that follows everywhere.
We have been using Asp.net application, where we can make api call from Web Server to App Server without any problem.
But now we have been converting our application from Server side to Client side, i.e. we'll only have js, html & css pages in web application, but problem is, we cannot call api using ajax directly from js, because of the two reason.
our App server is on different domain. App server is behind firewall, means it can only be accessed if we are connected to VPN, or we make a proxy on Web Server, and go through that channel. i.e. js<->Web Server Proxy<->App Server<->Db Server. We want to bypass Web Server from the channel, like: js<->App Server<->Db Server without connecting to VPN, because we don't require user to connect to VPN to use our web application.
Please give your suggestions. Thanks..
You have to enable CORS or cross origin resource sharing. You can research more on that but just want to give idea.
I published my finalized ASP.NET MVC 4 web application through FTP using Visual Studio 2012 publishing method. My webhost is Strato.de.
The problem is that when I try to access the website's domain, it says "This domain is now reserved, but no content was uploaded". I checked the ftp server using Filezilla, and all the published files are there. I really don't know why I can't see the website.
Here is a snapshot of the files from Filezilla:

That sounds like the "splash" page or default web site on your domain provider. Many providers like GoDaddy want you to also buy web hosting from them, so they initially set your DNS records to a temporary shared hosting-type account with a default website inside. Make sure your DNS records/namespace servers are set to your actual hosting provider.
I am new to Windows Azure and I have a question.
I have:
Web site which deployed to Windows Azure - The web site manage a table (add, edit, delete). I used this guide: Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Windows Azure Web Site and SQL Database
Andorid application & iOS Application (Native Code).
Now, I want the mobile applications to get data (in JSON format) from the web site (and from the DB).
What is the best practice to do that?
I tried to create a Azure (WCF) Service (the project refrenced to the web site project) but I didn't succeded. If this is the way - Is anyone knows a good tutorial to do that?
Is there another option? Maybe from the web site itself?
Thank you very much,
Yuval
If you want to integrate with non-Microsoft technologies I suggest you take a look at the ASP.NET Web API which allows you to build REST services using content negotiation. Content negotiation allows your consumer to specify the format it requires (json, xml, ...).
To host the ASP.NET Web API in a Windows Azure Web Site you should take a look at Carlos' blog, he describes in detail what you need to do to make this work: Creating ASP.NET Web APIs on Azure Web Sites
Have you given ASP.NET Web API a look-see?

I am hosting a ASP.NET web site containing a wcf web service in IIS 7. The web service is exposed using a .svc file that resides inside the web site's virtual directory.
There's section is this document about optimizing the web service performance by removing unnecessary http modules:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee377061(v=bts.10).aspx
My question is how can I do that in the web config without affecting the web site? My ASP.NET web site contains authentication stuff and definitely requires some of those modules (eg, FormsAuthentication). Is there a way to enable those modules only for the web site but disable them when the clients access the web service?
Thanks
You should separete your project into two (web and Service).
After that, create a website into IIS and add those two application separatedly, like that:
That way you can handle different configurations for each site, and configure the modules for a especific "project" (like wcf service).
