Thank you for your tutorial. I'm trying host my website built using ASP.NET and SQL Server on Windows 8 machine. I'm trying to follow your tutorial but at 3:51, you said you already mapped the domain to your local machine. Could you please explain or make a video on how to map a domain to your local machine ? Do you need to buy a domain name from website like godaddy or hostgator? Thanks

BUT, my solution has several Projects and C# folders. I can no longer get it to run on my local server as I had been doing on a paid server. ThoughtS??

Hello sir .When i host asp.net website on iis then following error displayed(
Line 9: <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetFramework="4.0" />)

I had to add ISS_USERS to security and add local ip to the hosts file to get it working.
To access from another machine just add a binding to the site.
Use the machine's ip address and leave host blank.
Typing in the machine's ip sends me to the my site.
Have not tested with multiple sites as I have not needed to yet.

Hi all I have encountered the problem where I was looking up a real website called "wackywideworld.com" because my computer is not handling it locally.

Please take a look at this video on how to search up your intended local website instead of searching the DNS.
Search "How to Modify the Hosts File in Windows 10" by Westy's How To Guides.

With relavance to this video, what you wann write at the last line of hosts file is "127.0.0.1 wackywideworld.com"
127.0.0.1 being the localhost (yours maybe different) and wackywideworld being the iis application name

This is the only explanation that works - and can be easily understood. Thanks for sharing !

Good tutorial. Do you have any tutorial to publish Asp.net core 3? I'm trying publishing .net core on Asphostportal shared hosting environment, it always shows 502 - Process Failure. Any insight? They can deploy .net core without any issue and have shown the demo to me. But, my application can't work. Thank you

Hi, Mr. Michael I tried to setup IIS on Server2008 r2 and I did all steps following this video but when I published webpage I can't find -release in configuration combobox (only debug presents). Even in Visual Studio configuration manager I couldn't find release for Active solution configuration. I use Visual Studio 2013 professional. How I can resolve this problem?

Hey, I would like to simply test potential changes to a website on my local machine without breaking the live site. Is this how I do so?
