http://localhost (Which site does it display if you have multiple sites)

Hello,
If I have multiple websites, and I type http://localhost on the machine running IIS, how does IIS determine which site to display?

Thanks in advance,
anthonyrsc

Hi,

The request will be routed to any site which is listening on port 80 with no host header configured.There can only ever be one web site with this configuration in IIS so that site will always be the one which is displayed.
