Same port

I have two websites I am trying to host. I go to IIS manager>
Websites> New website, and try to browse to the path and select the
directory. I assign port 80 to both, however on the second one it
tells me "the port is already used by another site. Please use an
unused port."
My question , are't all sites using port 80 and if thats not the case
and I use another port, can it be seen by all on the internet?

Would appreciate your input.

Hi John,

The default port for a website is port 80. And you can only have one set of
unique bindings on a server, so if both sites are using 'all unassigned' for
the IP address, port 80, and <blank> for the host headers then you will get
the error that you see. You will need to make each of the sites unique, so
they either need to use a different IP address, a different port number, or
host headers. If site #1 is domainA.com, and site #2 is domainB.com, you
can use the same port 80, and the same IP address, just add www.domainA.com
and domainA.com as host headers for site#1, and www.domainB.com and
domainB.com as host headers for site#2.
