I have two websites I am trying to host. I go to IIS manager>
Websites> New website, and try to browse to the path and select the
directory. I assign port 80 to both, however on the second one it
tells me "the port is already used by another site. Please use an
unused port."
My question , are't all sites using port 80 and if thats not the case
and I use another port, can it be seen by all on the internet?
Would appreciate your input.
Hi John,
The default port for a website is port 80. And you can only have one set of
unique bindings on a server, so if both sites are using 'all unassigned' for
the IP address, port 80, and
the error that you see. You will need to make each of the sites unique, so
they either need to use a different IP address, a different port number, or
host headers. If site #1 is domainA.com, and site #2 is domainB.com, you
can use the same port 80, and the same IP address, just add www.domainA.com
and domainA.com as host headers for site#1, and www.domainB.com and
domainB.com as host headers for site#2.

Hi John,
You cannot have multiple websites using the same port, ip address and host
header. Something of it must be unique, so the usual approach is to use host
headers to host multiple websites.
You can read more about this in the following article:
"Using Host Headers to host multiple websites on IIS 6.0"

So the domain name resolves?
Do you have a firewall blocking port 80?
