Create IIS Site

This command creates a new Internet Information Services website, as identified by its Site Name; or it updates an existing IIS website, as indentified by its Site Index.

If you specify a site index that corresponds to a site that already exists, the properties specified in this command will overwrite the properties for the site that already exists.

IP Address

If you wish to assign a specific IP address to this website, enter it here. Otherwise, the site responds to all IP addresses.

Host Name

 Notes

• Use the Create IIS Virtual Folder command to create the root and sub folders that are served by this site. The Create IIS Site command does not create or initialize the root folder of a website.
• The site index of a web site may be obtained from its name using the Get IIS Site Index command.
