You should now see a node called Sites. Right click, then choose Add Website.

Fill out the following fields:

• Site name: DotNetServices

• Port: choose an unused port, for example 9001.

Press the OK button. You should now see your newly created site (DotNetServices) on the left pane:

Open a web browser, and type in the following URL (adjust the port number 9001 if that's not the port number you put when creating the web app on IIS): http://localhost:9001/test
If your new web app is setup correctly, you should see the following response (you may see a slightly different style on different browsers, but you should see the text "This is a test…"):
