Please Explain me step by Step, how to host a website over internet. by using iis server with help of domain
To host asp.net site in iis you could follow the below steps:
1)open the visual studio. Select your site and right-click on that-> Click publish.
2) in pick up publish target Select folder option and create choose destination where you want to publish the site. (make a new folder and publish a site in that folder) and then select publish.
3)open IIS manager(if not installed then installed it first).
4)expand the server name and right-click on sites and select add a new site.
5)enter the site name, physical path, and site binding details.
(Note: you need to have a public IP first, and bind the domain to the IP at where you purchased the domain name. after that, in IIS, bind IP and hostname as usual)
6) click ok.
if you have url rewrite rule and other external settings in your site you need to install that external module in iis.

I am new in Asp.Net
I have enabled features of IIS 7 on my windows system and able to see IIS manager.
I created an application but build/run application through visual studio it goes to browser and run the application with different port number. When i stop build/run application through visual studio and again i refresh browser application could not run.
I want to run application without visual studio. How to do this.
It gives this : http://localhost:9864/
To configure IIS with a new website follow these instructions:
Open IIS manager, right click Sites (At the right menu) and click Add Website
Give the site a Site Name, The physical path on your machine, and a Host Name
There are some conventions as for what website physical path to choose you can read about it in this SO question
In Windows Explorer go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and Edit the hosts file
Add this line at the end of the file:
127.0.0.1 your-chosen-host-name-from-iis-ie-localhost.testsite.com
And save the file
Thats about it. You can open your browser and browse the Host Name you chosen for your website or in IIS right click your site and click Manage Website - Browse
Important note
If you wish to use the same address as your VS uses (http://localhost:9864/) then on step 2 leave the Host Name textbox blank and instead change the Port textbox to your desired port (9864). In this case you can also ignore step 3.
As a site note:
If you installed IIS on your machine after the VS installation you might get some conflicts. You might be able by this stage to browse to static content as html but not .NET resources like aspx files. If by browsing to .NET files you get a message saying The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration you can solve it with this SO question
I added my vb.net web app to IIS 8 on my Azure Windows 2012 server R2 VM.
Then, I did IIS > right-click Sites > Add Web Site
and set "Site name" to my_site.org
and set Physical path to project directory for my web site
and set "Host name" also to my_site.org.
Works great. From Internet, I browse to http://my_site.org and it runs OK.
Now I want people to also browse to www.my_site.org
but when I Add Web Site, just like above, but for www.my_site.org
it adds ok, but when I select www.my_site.org and click IIS Browse www.my_site.org browser pops up but reads "webpage cannot be found"
Nor can I browse it from Internet.
Because what is WWW? essentially that is a subdomain that you would need WWW to exist for it to load WWW.
Best option may be to set up domain forwarding to WWW, maybe a CNAME in your domain options?
From Azure documentation, "You must also provide the domain or subdomain alias for the CNAME, such as www if you want to create an alias for www.customdomain.com. If you want to create an alias for the root domain, it may be listed as the '#' symbol in your registrar's DNS tools."

Hope this helps! :)

That`s it.
I'm currently using IIS 7.5 to both host ASP pages and as a bridge to a tomcat server setup to host JasperReports. I've been trying to figure out how to host both of these services with 1 IP and one IIS server.
What it should do
1) When the account managers visit admin.mycompany.com, I'd like to display the ASP pages in IIS. under the domain admin.mycompany.com
2) When the account managers visits reports.mycompany.com, IIS should act as a bridge to the tomcat server and display the tomcat pages under reports.mycompany.com
Restrictions
1) Our hosting provider refuses to give us a 2nd IP, and
2) I'd prefer not to install Apache, which can easily do this with virtual host.
This question can be resolve with https://serverfault.com/questions/47537/can-iis-be-configure-to-forward-request-to-another-web-server
I copied vdboor's answer here for reference:
For IIS 7.5, Microsoft provides official modules for this!
URL Rewrite: http://www.iis.net/download/URLRewrite
Reverse proxy: http://www.iis.net/download/ApplicationRequestRouting
In the site settings, you'll get an "URL Rewrite" icon.
Open it
right click on the "inbound rules list"
Select "Add Rule(s)"
Choose "Reverse proxy"
In this dialog you can enter the hostname + port to forward to. After adding the rule, opening the edit dialog offers more customizations.
the reverse proxy template is not available at the server level.
- so you need to go to the site level, and then click the 'URL rewrite' icon to be able to use this template.

I have a webserver asp.net with 1 ip and several domain name.

"Under Construction
The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured."
So If I navigate to 174.1.1.1 I want it redirect to domain2.com
so how can I do that?

IIS6: To redirect requests to another Web site or directory
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the Web site or directory you want to redirect, and click Properties.
Click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
Under The content for this source should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
In the Redirect to box, type the URL of the destination directory or Web site. For example, to redirect all requests for files
in the Catalog directory to the NewCatalog directory, type
/NewCatalog.
IIS7: Configure the Web Server to Redirect Requests to an Exact Destination
Open IIS Manager and navigate to the level you want to manage. For information about opening IIS Manager, see Open IIS Manager (IIS 7).
For information about navigating to locations in the UI based on your
IIS administrative role, see Navigation in IIS Manager (IIS 7).
In Features View, double-click HTTP Redirect.
On the HTTP Redirect page, under Redirect Behavior, select Redirect all requests to exact destination (instead of relative to
destination).
In the Actions pane, click Apply.
