Does any one know if it is possible to have Two domain names running from

the same port using Microsoft iis 5.0.  I know it is on really ASP Related.

You should be able to as the default TCP/IP port for a web server is 

80, so I assume that you just IIS to handle each site seperately, check 

out the help or the Microsoft site for more info.

it's easy, i have four running on my box.  (four, very small web sites).



1) Create the web site at the root level - name it accordingly.

2) right click the website and choose properites.

3) go to the tab where you set the IP address (i can't remember the name)

4) click the Advanced button

5) a screen should open up asking for Host Header Information. - add a new host

header entry - "www.yournewdomain.com" and tell it to accept on port 80.

6) click ok until your out of the console.

7) repeat for all domains on that box.

8) try it and make sure it works.



thats it.



good luck,

Yeah, use unique host header names to allow multiple domains to listen on

the same port (80). To get to this, on the web site tab (the first one in

the IIS management console) click the 'advanced' button. Then, click the

'add...' button, use 'all unassigned' IPs, enter 80 on the port, and the

domain name in the host header name. I usually enter two for each domain:

one like 'www.domain.com', and 'domain.com'. This will allow anyone to

access the same domain name whether they enter the 'www.' or not. Do this

for each domain that you're hosting.



Given that this is not an IIS discussion group, I won't get into this topic

any deeper.



Good luck!

Hi!



Check out something that is called "Virtual Server", a feature that most

commercial web server software support. Yes, IIS supports it too. Read about

in the documentation One "physical" computer can respond to several ip

addresses.

you create a virtual site and give it the name of the new URL. Then in the 

DNS you have 2 URLs pointing to the same IP

Yes it is.  Read the IIS docs for instructions..

As far as I know there is a limit as to how many can run on one IIS server

but 2 will definitely not hurt you. You can have them on seperate ip's on

the same server or if you have a limited number of ip addresses you can use

host headers to run multiple web sites on on ip address.  When configuring a

web site after you put in the description on the next page you get three

boxes.  The last one is the host header information.  Putting in your domain

name here (i.e. www.xxxx.com) will configure that web site to not need it's

own ip address and then you can leave it to listen on all ip addresses
