The people who will be entering data via the website will most probably have a (smart) phone. If i am to create a data entry interface, do i have to in-advance get a domain name that supports mobile phones? From your experience with using ASP, is there any significant difference between programming the "ordinary" domain name [i don't know whether this is the correct name to call it but i guess you understand me] and the ones designed for use by mobile phones? If i do the programming using the "ordinary" domain name, how easy is it to change/append the mobile phone version to it? I wouldn't want to do something in one format and have to redo it completely to fit the users' phone browsers.
Thank you again for your advice.

I try to program them both the SAME and just #include different header and footer files based on the browser type. This allows you to create ONE page for the actual STUFF, and then your header and footer files can change all of the formatting for mobile phones. Use the command:
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
This will tell you what the browser of the visitor is. You can then use an IF statement to determine which header and footer to include.
