# Adding Sites

You can add new web sites to a computer by launching the site wizard.

###### To add a Web site

1. In the Internet Information Services snap-in, select the computer or a site, and click Action.
2. Select New, and then Web Site to launch the site wizard.
3. Follow the on-screen directions to assign identification information to your new site. You must provide the port address and the home directory path. If you are adding additional sites to a single IP address by using host headers, you must assign a host header name.

Note In the site wizard, All Unassigned refers to IP addresses that are assigned to a computer but not assigned to a specific site. The default Web site uses all of the IP addresses that are not assigned to other sites. Only one site can be set to use unassigned IP addresses. For more information on how sites are identified, see Hosting Multiple Sites by Assigning Ports, Addresses, and Host Header Names in About Name Resolution.
