Multiple sites on 1 IIS 2

[jurgen]

Hi,

How can I setup IIS 6 to host more then just one website on port 80.

http://www.site1.com,

http://www.site2.com

How can I lockdown IIS 6 to make a good security.

Regards

Jurgen

I would never use the "default" site when setting up IIS. Disable that one and just add a site for each web site you want. Under advanced settings for each you can add hostnames that will publish the pages in that website to the users browser.

Bring up MMC (right cilck my computer and "manage") and in the "services" main group you will have a group for IIS (near the bottom). Expand that group and right click-add... Add a couple sites, edit your hosts file (skip this if you have DNS already set up to the webserver) and test it out.

Search this forum this question has been asked many times before and answered many times before.

You use hostheaders to host multiple domain/sites on hte same server.

Here is Microsoft's checklist on having a secure website on IIS -

Note - While some may say that the URLScan tool is now of no use with IIS 6, it is not. It still has some security that is not inbuilt into IIS 6.0 yet.

Thank for the advise for the host headers.
And the secure IIS link

I'll get right on to it.
