Help, hosting multiple sites.

I am running microsoft Internet information services(IIS) on
windows 2000 advance server.
I have a bought a single domain which i divided into multiple
subdomains.

mydomain.com
www.mydomain.com

myfriend.mydomain.com

Now how can host
my site using http://www.mydomain.com as URL
and Home directory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mysite


my friend's site using http://myfriend.mydomain.com as URL
and his home dictory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myfrind's site?

both on my computer with a single IP address.


A second friend also bought the domain: playboy.com
and pointed his subdomain www.playboy.com to my IP address.

how will I also host him
using www.playboy.com as his url
and his home directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\playboy


So here I have three URL s all pointing to my single IP address
or to my computer on port 80.


Do I need to install any stuff like "Active directory"
"Active dictory" slows down my computer .so I don't like.

if your friend got "playboy.com", he´s a lucky one. he´ll probably make millions of it


no. you just have to setup multiple hosts in your IIS. Like right-click, "add host". and get your ISPs name servers point to your IP.

Q: is this a hypothetical question? i want to say: "did your teacher ask you this and you can´t find out yourself?" or "are you self-studying MCSE and don´t have a clue about the WWW?"

Or use the pointer redirect on oour site.. if you are running PHP.

Good example of what we are doing for some clients that request it.

domain.com
/home/user/public/

pointer.com
/home/user/public/pointer/

pointer2.com
/home/user/public/pointer_two/

While browser shows only the Requested URL.
