I have my domain name registered with GoDaddy and pointing to my IIS server where I have an ASP.net MVC application deployed. To accomplish this I simply have an A record entry pointing to the IP Address of my IIS server.

The binding name of my IIS web application is example.com. I can hit this just fine in the browser. However, when I try to hit www.example.com it hits the default IIS website. How do I get both example.com and www.example.com to hit my web application? Do I need a special A record or CNAME entry?

I would also like *.example.com to hit my application. Is there a way to do this in DNS or IIS?

The fact that you get the default IIS page when you hit www.example.com means that your DNS is set up correctly. If the web site isn't the default web site (and it sounds like it isn't) then you need to add a host header to the web site for each "name" by which you want to access it. If you want to access it by www.example.com, then add that as a host header to the web site.

  • can you assign multiple host names in IIS7 within the Edit Site Bindings Screen?
