Abstract

Prior to this invention, a virtual subdomain address could not have a file suffix because the virtual subdomain name in a URL did not refer to a standard host that the file suffix could be applied to. With the invention, the file suffix can be added to virtual subdomains through remapping the virtual-subdomain-domain-file-suffix combination or the virtual subdomain-file suffix combination to a new address where an action script then occurs. In creating this file suffix and remapping, the user enters a file suffix name and chooses an action script to associate with this file suffix name. When a browser requests a virtual-subdomain-domain-file-suffix combination through entering it through the browser's URL box, this URL request is redirected to an address with the mapped action script. The action script then typically causes the sending of response web objects containing information previously entered or programmed for that virtual subdomain-domain-file-s-uffix combination. The response information typically is a database driven webpage. This invention changes the way virtual subdomain URLs can be represented and makes it indistinguishable in appearance from a standard URL. Two applications are organizing web content of a virtual subdomain address and to provide a level of privacy, security, and communications paths to virtual subdomain addresses.
