Need help creating sites in IIS

I am completely new to IIS but our office has a requirement for half a dozen
sites to be created with a prefix to the domain name, for example:

documents.mywebsite.com
storage.mywebsite.com

and so on... How do we do this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Need help creating sites in IIS

a) create related DNS server for the domain
b) go to IIS MMC, create the websites. if you are using same ip address,
ensure you put in the correct host header value.

Re: Need help creating sites in IIS

Thanks for the reply...

Can anyone tell me, do I *require* multiple IP addresses? Currently the
server is only assigned one NAT IP and they would like to keep it that way.
Is it possible to set this up using the one IP and standard port 80? If so,
how?

Thanks!

Re: Need help creating sites in IIS

Hello,

No, you do not require multiple IP addresses. The KB Article

"HOW TO: Use Host Header Names to Configure Multiple Web Sites in Internet
Information Services 6.0"
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324287

Bernard gave you explains how to use Host Header Names to run multiple
websites using one IP address.
