In the navigation panel, unfold the server, in the Sites folder, right click and click on Add website.
Configure website settings.
Enter the name of the site, the physical path (folder created at the start), indicate the DNS name (site url) and click OK to create the site.
The site is created
The site is created, managed by the IIS console and accessible by its url on port 80 by default.
In order for the site to be available, it is necessary to create a record on the DNS server which manages the domain name.
