I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 and I'm hosting a website. But my dad wants me to host his on the Default port as well. How can I do tht? Hosters like godaddy have many external IPs on default port from same machine. Plz help.

This is why some sites you can open the url by name but you get errors if you key in the IP address directly.
