This is not my strong suit, all help will be appreciate it.
I'm hosting a site that is using an SSL certificate, I have created a second site that dont use SSL certificates, but I'm not able to get it to diplay it in the browser. I just get this error:
The domain rd.orders.com is not assigned to a site.
Please verify that everything is set up correctly.
I have done a research and I cant find anything related to this type of issue.
IIS supports hosting multiple websites on a single server, you can assign a unique IP address to each Web site, designate a non-standard TCP port number for a Web site, or use host headers. Of the three methods, it is more common to use host headers than to assign unique IP addresses to Web sites or to use non-standard TCP port numbers.
And if you want to configure a host header for a site, you can perform this procedure by using the user interface (UI), by running Appcmd.exe commands in a command-line window, by editing configuration files directly, or by writing WMI scripts
For more details, I recommend that you could refer to this document: Configure a Host Header for a Web Site.

I know this may be straight forward and may have already been asked but I have been unable to get proper online articles on this or atleast I don't know how to ask google. so here's a scenerio.
I have a Windows Server which will be hosting applications.
These applications need to be accessible over the internet.
NOTE I'm aware I can just port forward and users can access the apps via a public IP. This isn't how I want it.
Users should be able to access my apps through www.my-apps.com. This domain will be registered with e.g. Godaddy, etc.
How do I go on about this ? No matter how complicated this maybe, I am ready to get my hands as dirty as possible to implement this.
You can modify the hosts file of the server hosting your site to point to the local machine's IP when visiting the www.my-apps.com domain should do it.
Open the IIS Manager, in the Connections pane of IIS, expand the Sites and select the website which you want to access via IP address.
Click on Bindings link and you will see current bindings of that website.
Click on Add button to add a new binding, On the Add Site Binding window, keep website Type as http. Select an IP address from the drop-down menu upon which you want to bind the website, then type www.my-apps.com in the Host name, click OK and then Close.
open this file: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts.
Add the following entry to the file: IP Address www.my-apps.com

We have a newly-configured Sharepoint 2013 server installation, which serves our company Intranet.
The new Intranet is now in service and operational.
Next, we need to create another top-level site which will serve as an Extranet portal for clients.
Sharepoint Central Administration does not provide a method by which a separate IP address can be
selected for a new site; instead, it provides port selection or entry only.
We need to route external traffic to the extranet site, which requires either a mapped internal IP
address or a different port. The main limitation we face is that most of our public-sector clients
cannot use a non-standard port due to their firewall restrictions. So, this means a unique IP.
In the exhaustive research conducted concerning this issue, it appears that the "best practice"
receommended by Microsoft themselves is nothing but a workaround, where part of the process is
performed in SP Central Admin and the other half in IIS.
We have found many articles and blogs mentioning alternative ports, but none which address this situation directly.
Now we're trying to contend with Alternate Access Mappings, which are confusing our admins.
We really need the voice of experience from someone who has actually done this before.
Question: what is the correct way of achieving our goal?
Your users will access the site based on a host name I guess, not on an IP address?
So, you will have an intranet under http://intranet and you now want to create an extranet under http://extranet.
The fact that extranet is on another IP address and routed to your SharePoint farm is not really an issue.
What you need to do, is to create another web application with as host name http://extranet
Your firewall / network hardware must then forward http://extranet to your SharePoint servers. IIS will see "extranet" and serve the extranet.
If your users will access it via the IP-address, it's similar. Instead of http://extranet, you enter http://ext.ip.addr as the host name.
I am having some trouble with hosing.
Currently on our server have have 6 or so IIS sites hosted. They are all http currently: and work on port 80 with the host names set.
Now I want to go an change them to use SSL. But this then removes the ability to use the Host headers.
I have tried using self generated ssl cert from within IIS Manager before I go out and buy real ones. But the issue I am having is that it seems that the SSL cert is linked to an IP address. I can add the ssl cert to one site. But after that When I try assign site 2. it says that there are no Ip addresses.
So My question which Im hoping someone can explain how it works when multiple sites are hosted with iis on the same machine.
Do I have to get a wildcard SSL Certificate?
Do I need to have a unique IP address for each site being hosted?
If not, could somebosy please help and try explain to me what I need to do in order to achieve this.
I have one website configured for Windows Server 2012 IIS 8. This one website can be accessed by xyz.com or abc.com (2 different top level domain names). Is it possible to configure SSLs for both?
Yes. You can configure two different domains with two different certificates for the same IP and port no(443). After providing the domain name in Binding, enable check box Require Server Name Identification(IIS8). If you do not enable this check box, two websites will have the same single certificate, if you change one website binding file, it will reflect in other website also.. I have experienced.
Please refer below link.

As Windows Azure web site is powered by IIS, you can see from the offerings that it is possible to bind multiple SSL to a single site,

The trick is to use SNI,

Yes you can add multiple https bindings each with their own separate ssl certificate to the same site in IIS. However you'll want to bind them to separate IP addresses so that the certificate for xyz.com is bound using the IP address for xyz.com, and the certificate for abc.com is bound using the IP address for abc.com. But frankly, it'd be better practice to have one redirect to the other, or just make 2 sites in IIS and keep everything separate.
I was asked to create a sharepoint web application with ssl on a server with sharepoint 2010 installed. The problem is that this port seems to be in use for hosting our subversion repository. So when i try to browse my sharepoint site, it just shows a page with my repository. I've read about installing certificates and configuring multiple sites on one port with host headers but i never succeeded to complete this job. I would really appreciate some help here.
Thanks!
Assuming you're talking about individual SSL certificates (as opposed to a single wildcard certificate), I believe each website HAS to have its own IP address. AFAIK it is not possible to run multiple websites with multiple SSL certificates under the same IP address.
Depending on who is hosting the server, you would need a new IP address to be allocated to the server, and then within IIS you use the new IP address against the hostheader of your new website. You should find that the certificate works correctly, if not then try removing the certificate from the website and re-allocating it.
You would only be able to use a wildcard certificate if the primary domains of the websites were the same (e.g. website1.mydomain.com and website2.mydomain.com).
Thomas,
I've run into a similar situation before where the requirements dictated that we use 1 ip address, but the domains will be different (eg. website1.com, somesite.org, website2.us).
You can achieve this by using a Unified Communications certificate with Subject Alternative names. Currently, Digicert offers a UC certificate that can achieve this, but some other CA's will not.
Essentially you will have 1 certificate bound to :443 on the same ip address. The big drawback to this is that if the cert goes down, all the sites SSL will not work.
You have to manually (via powershell) bind each domain to port 443 however, but the instructions are fairly simple.
Server Name Indication would be another way, but it's not even an option in IIS 6
