Can you set up host headers on a site that has a subdomain? So if I
have www.site.com and want to use host headers on a
www.members.site.com, can I do this?

If so, how?

The host header is a string sent by the client as part of the HTTP header.
It is independent of "domains".

I don't understand what you mean by using host headers on
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.members.site.com." target="_blank">www.members.site.com.</a> Is that a website in IIS? If so, yes, you can add a
host header to it.

Or do you mean that you have a website <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.site.com," target="_blank">www.site.com,</a> and now want to
create a new website named <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.members.site.com?" target="_blank">www.members.site.com?</a> If so, you will need to
create the necessary records in the DNS server, otherwise your clients
will not be able to find the webserver.

I already have the <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.site.com" target="_blank">www.site.com</a> and want to create <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.members.site.com" target="_blank">www.members.site.com</a>

I did add the the A record under site.com for 'members' pointing to the
same web server.

I just wasn't sure if there was anything else that needed to be done.

Hi,

The basic steps are:
a) create necessary record in the DNS (A or CNAME)
b) create a new website in IIS (or choose an existing site)
c) add the necessary host-header entry to the website's properties

Basically the client sends a HTTP Host: header to the server with the
request. The server looks at this Host: header, and sees if there is a
website on the server configured to listen for requests matching that
header. If there isn't, IIS will look to see if there's a website that's
configured to listen for any requests (no host-header matching required). If
there isn't, the request will be rejected with 400 Bad Hostname (or
similar).

Cheers
Ken
