Need a host that supports mod_rewrite

Does Hostgator supports mod_rewrite or can you please suggest any host that support this.

I already have 3 webhost but they don't support mod_rewrite so I can't use some scripts that I bought.

 

Hostgator supports mod_rewrite - most do.

 

Yeah I thought most webhost supports it, but I tried 3 different hosting companies and they don't support it. They say they support it but when I install my script it doesn't work. I can edit .htaccess but the friendly urls won't work.

 

Yep, Hostgator supports it

 

I used Hostgator before and had a pretty good experience with them.

 

It's a pretty simple question for a host, so if they say they support it, and if it hasn't worked with three hosts, I think you might be doing something wrong.

 

I don't think so because I bought the script here, Its working with others who bought it.

 

You could either go to another company that says mod_rewrite is enabled. I don't like hostgator for my own personal reasons but if that is your only option I think you should take it.

 

Il echo hostgator too.

 

Put this into your .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]


(Replace "yourdomain" with your actual domain and extension.

The go to http://yourdomain.com without using the "www"

If it automatically rewrites the url to include the "www" then you know mod_rewrite is enabled.

 

Yes it automatically rewrites the url to include the "www". But why wont the script work?

 

Hostgator does, In fact any host worth its salt will support mod_rewrite
