: IIS with multiple roots Can IIS7 be setup to have many roots? Say I have a local server on our LAN called jupiter. Staff can view their sites via a folder structure such as http://jupiter/staff/karen.
Can IIS7 be setup to have many roots? Say I have a local server on our LAN called jupiter. Staff can view their sites via a folder structure such as jupiter/staff/karen. While this works ok, what they cannot do is use relative addressing to its full. Should they wish to link to a home page then using href="/default.html" or something similar will take then to the root of jupiter and not to their own top directory.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this? I know I can use ports (i.e. jupiter:1001) to get to karens site, but I would much prefer something like karen.jupiter or jupiter/~karen) where accessing the root will take them to the top of their own site structure.

To get this to work you would need to:
Configure your internal DNS to have many host names associated with this server. You could probably use a wildcard DNS rule to achieve this easily.
jupiter
karen.jupiter
bob.jupiter
etc.
Set up a virtual host for each user in the IIS configuration. Here is a guide that tells you how to do that.
