A method for creating a virtual uniform resource locator (URL) for a customer wherein the virtual URL is hosted by an application service provider (ASP). The method comprises the steps of registering a wildcard domain name */ASP.net, the wildcard domain name directing requests of the form anyname/ASP.net to ASP's home page ASP.net, creating a virtual URL customer/ASP.net, wherein the customer is named before the ASP, creating a customer subdirectory ASP/customer.net, creating an index containing a list of customer subdirectories and a list of virtual URLs, wherein the index maps a virtual URL to a corresponding customer subdirectory, receiving an http request from a user for a virtual URL, determining the corresponding customer subdirectory for the requested virtual URL from the index, directing the user to the corresponding customer subdirectory.
