Is it possible to Link 1 IP address linked with Multiple Domain Name Residing on a same server. I have N 4 Server & IIS 4.Example xyz.com & ABC.com both Pointing to 123.258.25.36.
 
I have my domain names with BuyDomains.com and use Url forwarding so all my domains point to the same IP but with a sub web attached e.g. is forwarded to and is forwarded to The domain name that I gave to my hosting company to establish ny site is a third name which I don't care if anybody knows. I can use FrontPage to establish as many sub-webs as I want and attach any domain name I own to each through my registrar.
 
Yes, you can have multiple web sites using 1 IP Address. It is really very simple. You must of course own or point you internet domain to your server ip address. Create a new web and configure as normal. Go into the properties for the web site under tab Web Site. Click in Web Site Identification the Advanced button. Add your identity for the web site by assigning the IP Address (routable internet or forwarded port of your web server usually 80) and the name of the domain e.g. When IIS receives the header info from the client browser requesting the site, it will serve the corresponding site to the client. Local Intranets must have DNS and or Wins available to handle local client browser request headers.
