I have created two web sites (by assigning different IP addresses) to each
site. I stopped on of the sites. But the IP address assigned to this
(stopped) site still answers on 80 and 443. Can somebody explain the
mechanism!
Hi,
The process will continue to bind to the ip address & port number, even
though there is currently no website running on that particular IP address &
port number.
What do you mean by "answer"? Do you mean that when you have stopped the
website, the website is still running and you can access the website? If so,
is it perhaps cached by the browser?
Can you please clarify what you mean; what you observe and how you observe
it.

Hi thanks for the reply.
I am using VPING utility to test if the site responds on 443 or 80. As an
example I am using 127.0.0.1 actual IP is different!. Results of VPING:
C:\>vping 127.0.0.1 80
VPING: Host 127.0.0.1 answers on port 80
When I stop the web site, web site is stopping and no users are able to
access the site. Which is expected behavior.
Now, I am clear on how the process is handling / binding IP with port number.

when website stop it still answer to port 80 ?
if you only have one site listen to that ip and port, it won't response to
any request as it is not active.
