IIS Default Website

Probably a simple thing to do but I'm not familiar enough with IIS to
know how to modify the Default Website so the user can browse it going
to rather than
yaro

 

Hello yaro137,

For IIS better use:
microsoft.public.inetserver.iis

Best regards

It's actually more of a DNS question than an IIS question.

Look up Alias (or canonical name) record type in DNS.



You can have an alias record that points to the server's host record. That
alias, which you can have more than one, can be named anything you like.

It's also a host header question.
Definitely for IIS group.

But since I'm already writing, Yaro, please search on the Net for IIS and
"Host Headers" and you'll get more info. But you also have to setup DNS
records like Paul pointed.

Thanks guys. I just had the same idea about DNS after no one on the
IIS group replied.
I tried modifying the host header for the Default Website already but
now when Paul
pointed to DNS it convinced me that this must be the way to do it.
Thanks again.
