    Is there any reason why I would not be able to have a url path like this in EE;

    http://www.domain.com/site/microsoft.com

    ??

    Hi crashevent,

    Thanks for your question and welcome to the Forums!

    It ultimately depends on context. There is nothing about ExpressionEngine that would prevent that type of URL, but how you need to use it certainly matters.

    Can you give me a little insight into what you are planning?

    Cheers!

    I want to have a page of HTML formatted content at URLs like that.

    Hi crashevent,

    Excellent!

    In that case, you would have a template group named “site” and a channel entry named “microsoft.com”.

    The index template of your “site” group would call the correct entry based on “microsoft.com” as the URL Title.

    ExpressionEngine allows for “.” in URL Titles, so there should be no conflict.

    For mor inforamtion on how ExpressionEngine handles things, read ExpressionEngine URLs. You should also watch the great “Getting Started with ExpressionEngine” video we have.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Cheers,
