Adding a host header

Host headers are an element for identifying Web sites that allows you to define multiple Web domains on one IP address. In addition to the IP address and port number, the host header is a third piece of information used to uniquely identify a Web domain.

To add a Host Header:

  1. Open the Organization Site Administrator Home page.

  2. In the IIS Web Service area, click Manage Host Headers.

  3. Click Add Host Header. The Add Host Header form displays.

  1. Click Add. The host header is added and is displayed on the List of Host Headers page.

  2. Important: The host header has to be unique and not conflict with any of the existing domain names.
