# Advanced Multiple Web Site Configuration

Use this dialog box to configure additional identities for your Web site.

Click the Add or Remove buttons to add or remove the identities listed. To edit existing identities, select the IP address and edit the appropriate fields (IP Address, TCP Port, SSL Port, or Host Header Name).

Each Web site must have a unique combination of identification characteristics. Therefore, while multiple Web sites can share two of their three identification characteristics, (domain or host header name, IP address, and port), they must have one characteristic that is different. Also, because SSL certificates contain the domain name, Web sites using certificates cannot share an IP address with other Web sites.

SSL Port

Determines the port used for establishing a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.

For your Web server's Default Web Site, this port is set to 443. (If you create a new Web site, you must set this port explicitly.) You can change the SSL port to any unique TCP port number; however, users must know in advance to request that port number, or their requests will fail to connect to your server. This option is only available if you already have a server certificate installed.
