Two Domains on one website?

Question

Hey guys,

I'm investigating a little problem for my employer. My company runs a website under an SSL certificate for the domain www.domainone.net.nz (Yes, New Zealand)

However, there's been a high-level marketing decision to change our primary domain to www.domaintwo.co.nz.

So, easy, right? Buy a new SSL cert for www.domaintwo.co.nz and get it running on IIS. Easy.

However, we have a few WebServices published that need to be accessed over HTTPS - there's some systems in place out in the wild that are using https://www.domainone.net.nz/

I would like to run BOTH certs at the same time, and give our partners and clients that are using these WebServices a set timeframe (six months, say) to roll over to the new domain, before revoking the www.domainone.net.nz cert.

This is a bit fiddly to search for - I keep getting explanations of wildcard SSL domains, which wouldn't help in this particular case, as the central domain name has changed.

Is this possible under IIS? My asp.dll shows version 6.0.3790.4195

Answer 1

It's possible, if you have separate IP addresses for both sites, simply create two sites, one with each SSL certificate and point the directories for both sites to the same place.

But with a single website, no it's not possible

Answer 2

you should be able to do this as long as you have two different IP's one for each of the SSL Certs, you may have to set up two sites that point to the same location to get it working properly, but im not sure.
