Hi There,<br />
<br />
I have recently added a new site within IIS and I can navigate fine to the site you <a href="http://localhost/IISsitename" rel="ugc">http://localhost/IISsitename</a>&nbsp;or <a href="http://webserver-name/IISsitename" rel="ugc">http://webserver-name/IISsitename</a>. When I attempt to edit the bindings via IIS and add a host name for example, 'abc.com.au' as the host and assign it to port 1000, however when navigating to <a href="http://abc.com.au:1000" rel="ugc">http://abc.com.au:1000</a>&nbsp;using a browser (internally) the site fails to load and I within the network. At the moment I am only wanting to access the site internally and I have also setup the DNS 'A' record and its correctly pointing to the IP address of the web server. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated. <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Assigning domain name to IIS site

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

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.

Web Servers

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext. HTTP functions as a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. HTTP is designed to permit intermediate network elements to improve or enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet Protocol Suite; it presumes an underlying and reliable transport layer protocol.
