How to Run Multiple Sites on the Same Port With Different Servers

To set up multiple websites on one IP and port, you use "host headers." The IP for each website is the same, but the host-header option reads the domain entered by the user and redirects the user to the appropriate website content. You must have access to your Web server's IIS manager to set host headers. You can set up as many websites as you need on one server.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open the IIS Manager by clicking the Start button, typing "IIS" in the text box that appears at the bottom of the menu and clicking on "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" when it appears in the menu under "Programs." Click the "Web Site" or "Sites" listing in the left-hand column to expand a list of websites.

      Click "Bindings" in the "Action" pane. Select the binding you want to use and click "Add" to add a new host header.

    • 3

      Type the domain name in the "Host Name" text box. For instance, if you want to forward the site "mysite.com" to the selected directory, type "mysite" in the text box and click "OK."
