2 Domains to the same IP address

Hi

I wonder if there is any problem in assigning 2 domain names to the same
Static IP address?

Thank you,
Samuel

None. Its quite a common practice to do this for a web server and use host
header configuration to allow multiple web sites to be served from a single
server.

I don't want to open up a can of worms, but just thought I'd mention that
the only thing to be aware of up front is that if both of those sites needs
their own SSL certificate down the road then you are better off giving them
individual IP addresses.

Re: 2 Domains to the same IP address

Hi Samuel,

When you are first setting up a site, it gives you an option for a host
header when you are choosing the IP address. If you already have the site
setup and want to add or edit host headers here is how:

Go to the properties of the website
On the 'Web Site' tab under 'Web site identification', click the 'Advanced'
button
You will see that you can have the IP address, port number, and Host header
value.

If you want the site to be able to be accessed from both domain.com and
www.domain.com, make sure to add a host header for both. (both entries
would have the same IP, and TCP port, just different host header values,
domain.com and www.domain.com

Re: 2 Domains to the same IP address

Windows XP does not support multiple websites running simultaneous. Will
you be using 1 website, with two domain names?

Re: 2 Domains to the same IP address

Yes,

and the only way I can think of is to use a dynamic home page so I can load
the right page but ideally I wanted to have html pages as well

Thank you,
Samuel
