3 steps to hosting 2 or more Web sites on 1 piece of hardware
I typically receive from 50 to 100 reader questions per day. Most of them inquire about a variety of topics, but a few questions come up repeatedly. When I see the same question several times, I realize that it's fodder for a column. The Microsoft IIS­related question that readers ask most often is, How can I host two or more separate sites on one Web server? For example, suppose you have one IIS server and you want to use it to run two unrelated Web sites: www.apples.com and www.oranges.com. How can you do that?

great - no version info for what server / software you're using - spectacular

this article is a good example of how not to write a 'how to' article

I found your artcile very good. I would have liked it better if you also mentioned how to update DNS servers. I also, feel that perhaps a few more screen shots would have made it clearer for me!

Many thanks,

I found this article very useful. If you cant figure out just from looking at the descriptions that he is talking about IIS and the wizards he is referring to then you are in the wrong game.

Thanks for a great article. I just would have liked more actual screenshots. But very good and it got me going in the right direction.

Cheers

How to create a new website in Windows XP?

Anonymous User 12/14/2004 3:19:22 AM

I've got a question, how can you enable a website to authenticate a user with a username and password. Also, what is needed to enable the user to change his/her password??

Please help!

Thank you in advanced.

It took you "hours" to figure that out?

Why don't you post your ip address and you'll find your problem will be solved?
