I need to host multiple sites for testing on single server with one IP Address over IIS.
Currently i have hosted a website which is mapped directly to IP address means no domain name. i need to host another website on same IP. How can i achieve that? is this possible having
e.g 174.22.12.87 (Site1)
e.g 174.22.12.87 :800 (Site2)
I am confused what to put in Host Name and Site Name ? for single IP Address and to host multiple sites. If i put ip in host name in both websites that look fine but what to put in site names? i think they should be unique?
you can have a look at this link.

If you have the same IP-Address, the port is used used to host multiply sites. So you are right.
The combination of IP, Port, and HostName must be unique.
If you're deciding to always leave HostName blank (referencing things by IP:Port instead of domain) then you still just need the combination of IP and Port to be unique. (i.e. 174.22.12.87:80 vs 174.22.12.87:800)
I believe you're using SiteName to mean the IIS site name, which is just what it shows as within IIS and doesn't impact how you access the site at all.
Don't forget to add new Inbound rule to open your specified port in Windows firewall (server side).

I have just one IP address for my server. It has two websites
123.456.789.11/~user1
123.456.789.11/~user2
Can I have two domains pointing to each user separately?
www.domainabc.com --> 123.456.789.11/~user1
www.domainxyz.com --> 123.456.789.11/~user2
I do not wish to append any thing to either of the domain names [ www.domainabc.com/~bigNO ]
Is it possible?
Thanks!
DNS is only concerned with mapping names to IP addresses. It knows nothing about protoocols, or anything else outside of the name www.example.com or the address 123.45.67.89
Most, if not all, web servers understand the concept of a virtual host, so you could configure user1.example.com to be a specific virtual host that then redirects to www.example.com/user1
How can I change domain name for ip address (192.164.5.19) to www.anyname.com?
Current I made a website and published it by using iis7. It is in the intranet. Now I want to access the website by a domain name and not by ip address.
can anyone help me for with this problem.
Note: The web-server were use is normal PC not a server.
It is up to the administrator of the DNS authorative nameserver for the "anyname.com" domain.
Since this is an intranet application, this would likely be your companies IT department.
You can find out more information about that via a whois search, although for an intranet application it may not be much help. One example: domaintools link
Add the ip adress to the hosts file from the computers who needs to reach the website. E.g. u can do the edit with a batch file.
Path:
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
add line: 192.164.5.19 www.anyname.com
I wonder if is it ok to host multiple sites on a server with one IP address?
I bought server on hetzner and I want to host 10 different websites of my clients. Eg. client1.com, client2.net, client3.org etc. I changed "A record" in all domains on IP address of my server. Is there any reasons to not do that? Or maybe I should buy additional IP address for each site?
Thank You.
Sure it is, your webserver will be able to filter requests to the correct site based on the incoming request's URL.
In Apache this is done by adding a new virtual host to your configuration.
I have multiple websites hosted on our server. When someone types the IP address in the address bar of the Browser It redirects to one of the websites hosted on the server. Is there any way by which I can set the default website which is opened when some one types the IP address. Same IP address is being shared by multiple websites.
1 IP address can only bind to 1 IIS Entry. So what you need to do is to pick the IIS entry you want, go the "Binding" section and bind your IP as the binding header.
ex: If your IP is 1.1.1.1 , then in binding header, you put 1.1.1.1, in IP address, you also choose 1.1.1.1.
After you setup this binding, you can browse to 1.1.1.1 and it'll open your site.
Remember to make sure all other sites doesn't have this binding. Otherwise, it'll have an conflict.
All you have to do is leave off the IP address and host name entries, and provided you have only a single website matching that, that site will become the 'default', while your other sites will have specific host name(s) they respond to.
I am not sure, but you may have to add a specific host in the C:\\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file, giving IP address and its corresponding address, this definitely works from logging into the website where it is hosted, i.e on the hosting server.
For logging from different IP machines, try the same logic - in this case make sure that the gateway is same for LAN.
Let's see what happens in this case ??
I am running a website from IIS on one computer and I want to view the web page on another computer. the only way I can do this is by using the ipaddress of the computer with IIS on it but would rather have a url. How can I generate a url or use a domain name from dynamicdns.com. I signed up for an account on that website but dont know how to use it. I dont know how to configure it.
If the computers are in the same LAN you can substitute the computer's name for the IP. If you want the website to be visible outside the LAN, and accessible according to your dynamicdns.com name, you'll probably have to set up port forwarding on your router so that requests for port 80 are sent to the IP address of your IIS server.
edit your hosts file under Windows/system32/drivers/etc
add the ip and any hostname you want to use, e.g.
74.125.19.103 my.hostname.com
