Author Maximun number of virtual hosts
Alvaro Remesal

2005-12-21, 5:57 pm

I'm developing a web application which is in a host in my IIS. This
application can (and must) manage a lot of virtual web sites, all of these
under the same IIS host.

My question is: inside a same host, how many identities can IIS manage? Does
a maximun number of diferent identities (couple of URL + IP/port) exist into
the same site?

Sorry for my English, and thank you for wasting your time with my trouble,

Hello,

IIS does not have any hard coded limit in the number of websites, virtual
directories etc. (it is not clear what a virtual host is, but i think you
mean website).

The only limitation would be hardware, if the machine's hardware is not
good enough to handle all the websites (CPU, memory, network connection
etc.).

Hello,

It's ok, there is no limit of websites hosted by IIS 6. But, in my case, i
have one site which can be accessed from a lot of names.

In the IIS configuration, i select the site, right click, Propierties,
Advanced and then i create a lot of "Multiple identities" for the same site.
I mean that names, and i ask for the existence of a limit in these multiple
identities for a website.

Thank you very much for your answer,

regards,
