Unfortunately, mod_rewrite is not available on our hosting packages as this is a module for Apache servers and we run Zeus. We do however, offer an alternative, more powerful rewrite facility on all of our Linux hosting packages.
The Zeus Rewrite functionality works in a similar way but has a slightly different syntax. Simply create a file called 'rewrite.script' in your web directory and enter your rewrite rules.
#Zeus webserver version of basic Wordpress mod_rewrite rules
map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}
look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
##### FIX FOR LOGIN/FORGOTTEN PASSWORD/ADMIN ETC #####
match URL into $ with ^/wp-.*$
if matched then goto END
##### FIX TO ALLOW SEARCH TO WORK #####
match URL into $ with ^/(.*)
set URL = /index.php/$1If your Wordpress installation is stored in a directory other than the /web directory, for example, if your Wordpress installation can be found at http://www.yourdomain.com/blog you will need to use a slightly different rewrite script.
#Zeus webserver version of basic Wordpress mod_rewrite rules
map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}
look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
##### FIX FOR LOGIN/FORGOTTEN PASSWORD/ADMIN ETC #####
match URL into $ with ^/blog/wp-.*$
if matched then goto END
##### FIX TO ALLOW SEARCH TO WORK #####
match URL into $ with ^/blog/(.*)
set URL = /blog/index.php/$1The above script rewrites the /blog directory - If your Wordpress installation is in a different directory, replace any instance of /blog with that of the correct directory name.
Wordpress MultiSite is now a part of the Wordpress project itself, and can host multiple blogs (see http://mu.wordpress.org for information)
If you have configured Wordpress to run as a multisite version, you will need to use this rewrite script instead of the one above

map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL}
look for file at %{SCRATCH:path}
if exists then goto END
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path}

match URL into $ with ^/blog/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+)
if matched then
set URL=/blog/wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2
goto END
endif
match URL into $ with ^/blog/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes|login).*)
if matched then
set URL=/blog/$2
goto END
endif
match URL into $ with ^/blog/([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$
if matched then
set URL=/blog/$2
endif
match URL into $ with ^/blog/(.*)
if matched then
set URL=/blog/index.php
goto END
endif
