ASP.net web service and Web Api in a single port

Question

I already have a webservice which is running on a port, and we are going to implement another webapi project which need to be hosted on the same server without opening a new port. Is there any way to achieve that???

Answer 1

Here are two possibilities:

• Run the WebAPI in a virtual directory of the same site.
• Run the WebAPI as a new site on the same port but with a different hostname binding. Requires a new DNS entry and (if using https) a new certificate (or a wildcard certificate).
