IIS and http/https

1. How can I create a new website in IIS 7 to listen on port 80 http and to display a basic home page?

2. Is it possible to have a website on IIS 7 to listen on both port 80 http and port 443 https and if so how?

Lastly, how can I have a url directed to it?

So if i create a site. For https then http is automatic? I don't need two separate sites?
When you create a new website, it will bind on port 80 for HTTP by default. You then need to add an additional binding on port 443 for HTTPS (as shown in the second article).

You don't need two separate sites, only one site with a binding on both port 80 and port 443.
