Hi,
I created a website in PHP
LINK
and i want to know how to make Friendly URL's if you browse the
website you will see that some of the urls are quite long in size.
I heard already you can use .htaccess
but for one im not sure if it works on a windows server
as my website is on ixwebhosting at time of setup it asked me which
package
linux or windows
unfortunately i chose windows but im not sure if this is a problem
Can anybody help me
Basically i need a step by step on how to setup Search engine friendly
URLs on the ixwebhosting windows host package.
Im sure it will be the same as any other windows hosting service.
So can somebody explain please.
Thanks in advance

If Apache on Windows (perfectly possible), then yes. However, most
hosters use IIS if they say they have a 'Windows' package. Then again, a
switch should be easily possible.

Not really related to PHP, ask in an IIS group, or search for 'IIS url
rewrite' There are possibilities, a lot more cumbersome then in Apache
though IMO.

It doesn't matter what the operating system is. URL rewriting is a
HTTP server feature. If you have Apache, you can use URL rewriting
(provided that mod_rewrite is set up correctly) regardless of the
server OS. If you have IIS, you can use ISAPI_Rewrite:
