Bindings<\/h3>\n

You can host numerous websites in IIS on the same EC2 Windows Server instance, if you have multiple websites. In order to do this, IIS uses Bindings, which are a mix of the protocol type, IP address, port, and hostname to distinguish various websites. However, you must specify a hostname to avoid IP and port conflicts.<\/p>\n

Steps to host numerous websites using IIS<\/h3>\n

To configure the IIS server on your instance to host numerous websites, please follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To begin with, ensure that the IIS is installed and configured on the instance.<\/li>\n
  2. Obtain the IP addresses of the EC2 Windows Server instance<\/a><\/strong> using the Amazon EC2 console.<\/li>\n
  3. Then, using Remote Desktop Protocol, connect to the instance (RDP).<\/li>\n
  4. Open IIS Manager and choose the site to which you wish to add a host name in the Connections pane.<\/li>\n
  5. Select Bindings from the Actions window. Edit it and then click on OK after entering a name in the host name field.<\/li>\n
  6. To view the website locally from the IIS server, update the host’s file using the host name<\/li>\n
  7. Using the Run as Administrator option, open a text editor, and then open the host’s file in the C:Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc directory.<\/li>\n
  8. Save the file after entering the EC2 instance’s Private IP address and the host name of your website.<\/li>\n
  9. Repeat Steps 4 to 6 for each additional website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Using the private IP address, you can locally access your websites via the host’s file, on the same EC2 Windows Server instance .<\/p>\n

    You can add the public IP address to your public hosted zone using your DNS host provider or Amazon Route 53 for public access.<\/p>\n
