If you want to add a site on IIS and have no idea of how to do this, this post will be of great help for you.

1. Have your site files prepared

1) Create website root directory under c:\inetpub\wwwroot. Here we have the root folder named “mysite1” and the directory is called C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite1.

2) Have site files uploaded to the above mentioned directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite1 via FTP.

2. Set up a new site

1) Open your IIS manager and expand it. Then find “Sites”.
