IIS7 wildcard mapping for dynamic subdomains - iis-7

I have this setup in IIS:
1- Default website
2- Site1: binding test.example.com:10.10.10.10:80
I want to have *.test.example.com to point to Site1 so if I go to test1.test.example.com I will see the application on Site1, note that I have in the DNS a multiple A records:
test.example.com 10.10.10.10
*.test.example.com 10.10.10.10
how can I achieve this?

This question is probably better suited for serverfault. Long story short though, this isn't possible in IIS. Check out this post in the IIS forum.

Multiple websites under a folder in IIS

I have a problem with websites in IIS.
The first thing that I did was that I set basic .html website in IIS under Default website (port 80). I moved the code in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Test and it works.
When I type in the browser localhost/Test, it works but I have an ASP.NET Core web app and I want to open it using localhost/MyAspNetSite in the browser. Is this possible???
I'm asking that because when I right click on the Default website I have no possibility to add new website, only virtual directory or application. In my case, I put my .net code in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\New and in I added the new website on port 5000 and it works like localhost:5000 but not like localhost/New. I hope that you understand me.
Is it possible to have two websites on the same port or to connect two websites or something like that?
I am sending image about this problem. Thank you
You can host multiple sites under the same IP Address. In this case, the IP Address is called "Shared IP Address". This concept is used by all the shared host providers in this world.
That you basically need to do is to go to your IIS -> click your domain -> Bindings -> and add "www.yourDomain.com" and "YourDomain.com" to the IP. If you have a second site, you just have to do exactly the same thing, you can check this blog post it can help u to understand all that things

Deploy web site without using a domain

I am new to the web world, so I apologize if this question is silly.
I have an ASP.NET web site I wish to deploy.
The server has IIS 7 deployed on it, and I've added the site
to that IIS server as a web site.
For the time being I don't have a domain mapped to the site,
I would like the users to browse for the site directly by using the server's IP.
Is that even possible? because I failed to do it.
The only option that worked so far is using the hosts file to declare
a fake domain.
It would be nice if someone could clarify that issue for me.
Thanks a lot,
Omer
If you set the site bindings to IP address: All Unassigned on port 80, and do not provide a host name, then any request that makes it through to IIS should be served by that site. Make sure you stop any other sites that might have that binding (e.g., "Default Web Site" is normally bound to this).
In order to access the site by IP, you can't have the host name populated in IIS. Your best bet would be to use the "Default Web Site" that's already in IIS, and point that to your application.
Using IP is possible, but you need to make sure your users can see this ip from their machines.

Setting up asp.net test server

I am creating a website in asp.net MVC 4 and am wondering the best way to set up a test server?
I am doing this from home and would like a way for my friend to test my code from a different location (his home). What would the best way to go about this? Build a local server that he only has access to? VMWare? Online web hosting?
One solution would be to use a VM and set up a server.
NOTE! that this would require your friend to redirect your IP Adress to the host name you will set for your website on the IIS of your VM.
He can easily do that by changing his Hosts at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Another option would be actually to purchase a domain (that you will need anyway eventually)
The purchase a hosting package (that you will also need anyway eventually).
Then setup your website on a sub domain in that hosting server e.g. dev.myDomain.com

What do I need to publish my ASP.Net application to a URL locally?

I don't want to pay for a domain, but simulate a url exists, something like 'www.myapplication.app'. Is this possible?
I'm guessing I need to configure some thing with IIS7 or something right?
This is for a college course and instead of just doing the bare minimum I'd like to make something very nice to show.
I realize this question might be broad but any links would be great. :) Especially if it starts from the beginning of IIS configuration.
My ultimate plan is to have a Windows Server 2008 on a Virtual Machine and publish it there, is it possible?
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
In this file you can mimic domains, for example you would put:
127.0.0.1 www.myapplication.com
Where 127.0.0.1 is always referring to you locally (== localhost)
Added obvious step:
You then create an application in IIS where you use this domain in the HostName of the application. You then can acccess your own domain from your browser.

How to have multiple web site with one URL?

I have 2 web projects, with one URL: www.theurl.com, which is directed to the ISA server, behind this server is a web server (windows 2003).
I have a default web site, and another web site which I want to add (website2). When the user clicks the URL, directly goes to my first web site.
How can I have for example: www.theurl.com/website2 and how should I configure the IIS without using another port? I am using port:80
Thanks in advance
Could you have the hostnames be the way to separate the sites? That may be a way to do this, but that is in the bindings in IIS I believe.
Use the hostnames to allow IIS to filter and direct the requests based on site. See here:
