Create a new Web site

To create a new Web site in Apache, you must set up a virtual host and configure the individual settings for the host. If you are using IIS, you can create a new Web site by translating the following terms to the IIS equivalents:

Apache term	IIS term
DocumentRoot	IIS Web Site Home Directory
ServerName	IIS Host Header
Listen	IIS IP Address and TCP Port
