As you can guess by the title I have a problem. I am quite new to the whole domain set-up etc, but I will try my best to explain.

Previously I had always hosted my websites with companies that administer the servers etc.. However I have now have purchased a dedicated windows server, which obviously I have to administer myself. I created my website fine (HTML/ASP.net stuff I mean), and created the domain and ftp on the server. However I have now come across a problem, the company that I purchase the server from has there own html/asp etc. front end on the web that allows me to purchase domains and point them to my dedicated server. I currenly have 3 domains and at the moment I am not using the wokingham domains. I am however using the ticodi domain, and this is the domain I have set-up on my server. Now comes the problem that no matter which domain you enter in your browser it shows my ticodi website.

I really do not understand what I have done or need to do, as I have only set-up one domain on my server I assumed the others would not affect it, could someone please help???

All domains DNS are pointing to my server.

Thanks in advance

So, if I am reading this correctly you would like to host multiple web-sites(domains) on a single IIS server(one public IP Address)?
-In IIS you should have created a web-site for each domain name.
-In the properties of each web site you need to create a host header. In IIS6 it is Web-site properties -> Web site tab -> Advanced button -> Add.
- Enter your FQDN names for the site. Example You might also put in wokinghampubs.co.uk for those who don't use the host portion www.

Creat host header for each web-site. When the request comes in to the webserver the host header is used to route the client to the proper site.
