subdomain on IIS

Question

My website will look something like online store, where every user has his online store as subdomain eg user1.myprojectdomain.com

we need help that how can Manage sub domains. Do we create a Virtual Directory/application for every user in the IIS on runtime or we can do some thing else

I have created a website xyz.com in my iis and created an entry in windows etc/localhost as follows

xyz.com   127.0.0.1

and it is working fine. and then I did added another entry to route all sub domains as follows

*.xyz.com   127.0.0.1

Now I am trying to use abc.xyz.com or any other but it is not working

Answer 1

1) Make sure your DNS is setup to point to your subdomain. This means to make sure you have an A Record in the DNS for your subdomain and point to the same IP.

2) You must add an additional website in IIS 7 named subdomain.site.com

Sites > Add Website Site Name: subdomain.site.com Physical Path: select the subdomain directory Binding: same ip as site.com Host name: subdomain.site.com
