How to make site go to www. in IIS7 - iis

I'm trying to set up a website in IIS7.
If I type in mydomain.com in the browser address bar - a page is displayed, however if I type www.mydomain.com, I get a 500 error.
Any ideas as to what to look for?

This indicates that you probably don't have the binding set for www.mydomain.com on your website.
Click on your website in IIS, on the action pane on the right it will have a clickable link that says Bindings, this lets you edit the bindings. There should be an http binding on port 80 for mydomain.com but it sounds like you don't have one for www.mydomain.com, simply add an Http binding on port 80 with the www.mydomain.com hostname.

Google Domain settings

I've bought domain on Google Domains. Also I have server, and my website is on 4000 port, link looks like
http://1.1.1.1:4000/
I need to set domaint to link look like
http://example.com/
How can I do it in Google Domains. It my first experience in setting domain, so I'm bad at this thing
UPD:
Or how to create miiror for http://1.1.1.1:4000 with link http://example.com/
Or how to meke link look like http://example.com/ on my site
Sign in to Google Domains.
Click the domain name.
Open the menu Menu, if applicable.
Click Website .
Under 'Forward to an existing webpage', click; Add a forwarding address.
Enter a URL or IP address in the Website URL field. For you this would be the IP address of your server
I would highly recommend leaving your website port on 80 or 443 dependant on your preference to HTTP or HTTPS. other wise you will have to always enter www.whatever.com:4000 instead of www.whatever.com. The second one is a lot more public friendly

Error 404 when assigning a hostname in binding a site in IIS 10

I have two websites under IIS (same IP). I want to map them to
website 1: domainname.com (80)
website 1 ssl: https://domainname.com (443)
website 2: sub.domainname.com (80)
problem is, when I add hostname to the binding, I get error 404 when I browse the site. site works fine when I remove the hostname in the binding.

IIS: add binding to Default Web Site

I just started looking at IIS on Windows10.
I have a stupid question. I added a binding to Default Web Site ("www.test.com") in IIS Manager.
I was expecting to see the default page when browsing to this url, but it took me instead to an actual existing page.
Can anyone explain me why?
If you've added www.test.com to your bindings, clients (like your web browser on the same system) still don't know that IIS hosts the site.
see this: Setting up a Host File - Faking URLs
This is useful when dealing with multiple sites:
Site 1:
test.com
www.test.com
www2.test.com
Site 2:
another.url.com
with just listening to a single IP, you cannot control which request ends up at which site, this is what the binding solves

Using URL Rewrites to allow 1 IP address to host two subdomains

I have a scenario where I need to two different subdomains to come through the firewall and be rewritten or redirected to areas on the server. For example if I have sub1.mydomain.com/testsub1.html entered externally, I want it to hit the IIS "Default web site/folders/sub1/testsub1.html" and likewise, if sub2.mydomain.com/testsub2.html is received I want it to go to "Default web site/folders/sub2/testsub2.html". We were told that URL Rewritew would be the way to go on this. So we set up rules in the Default web site, to use the MatchURL pattern for:
1. sub1.mydomain.com(.) and to rewrite it to "Default web site/folders/sub1(R:1)" with the action type of Rewrite.
2. sub2.mydomain.com(.) and to rewrite it to "Default web site/folders/sub2(R:1)" with the action type of Rewrite.
If I hit http://sub1.mydomain.com/testsub1.html, I get a file not found error. What I am seeing in the logs is the GET /testsub1.html. If I change the URL to http://sub1.mydomain.com/folders/sub1/testsub1.html, it works perfectly and I see GET /folders/sub1/testsub1.html in the logs and the proper page is displayed in the browser.
What am I missing to make this work without the full path?
Bindings are the best way to handle this. They can listen on the same IP address for different hostnames. Create two separate websites in IIS and configure each of their bindings for that particular subdomain.

How can I configure IIS to serve a site when it is asked by ip?

I have a site www.example.com and example.com configured at x.x.x.190
At the moment, foo.example.com is also configured at the same ip.
In the DNS server www is a CNAME alias for example.com
How can I make it so that when a request like http://x.x.x.190 is made, the server serves the content of www.example.com, just like if the request was http://www.example.com or even http://example.com? Is changing the ip of foo.example.com to a different one enough?
Thank you very much.
Go Tor run > inetMgr to open up issserver
Right click on you wesite Not >> Properties >> in that go to website tab >> in that tab there is text box to set ipAddress for the website
after doing above steps you can browse your website using ip address as you want
