<div>
where do you get &nbsp; 'Host not found' ?
</div>


<div>
The error message is displayed when i tryt to access the website by typing the new host name assigned. The browser takes some time to try to access the website, the error &quot;Host Not Found&quot; is displayed after a while.<br />
<br />
The server I am using is Windows Server 2003. The website is basically an intranet web-based system. FYI, I do not have any &quot;valid&quot; domain name that point to the server.

Use Host Header Names to Configure Multiple Web Sites in Internet Information Services 6.0

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
