ok knudholt, what you have to do to set-up a "website' is to open the Internet Information Services Manager (IIS). The default website is one of the things displayed in the MMC window when you double click on your server in the navigation window.
From there, you should then right click on the "default website" icon and select "properties". The properties for this site will then be displayed. Next, click on the "advanced" button (to the left of the IP address field) now you can add, modify or delete what are called "host headers", that is you can enter yourdomain.com and
http://www.yourdomain.com, and as long their is a DNS host record set-up for that domain, it will resolve to that site. Just make sure all host headers are set to port 80. The only downfall to IIS is that only one of your sites per server can be configured to use SSL on port 443, so use it wisely. You can configure about 250 sites within IIS.
The directory that your "default website" uses can be found at
X:\InetPub\wwwroot\.
( where X= the drive that has the InetPub directory)
So I would recommend that you dump your html or htm files into this directory, to make things simple at first.
