Assigning a Host Header to Your Web Site

If you have already created a domain, sub-domain, or domain alias, follow these instructions to assign it to your website as a Host Header. WebsitePanel refers to Host Headers as Pointers. IIS 7 refers to Host Headers as Bindings.

From the Hosting Account screen as shown in Figure 1, hover over the “Web” icon and select “Web Sites.”
