Deploying ASP.net MVC Application on IIS Server

Introduction

Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) is a versatile, all-purpose web server that provides requested HTML pages or files on Windows PCs.

Remote client computers can submit queries to an IIS web server, which will then deliver the proper response. Web servers can share and distribute information across LANs, such as corporate intranets, and WANs, such as the Internet, thanks to this fundamental functionality.

A web server can provide users with information in a variety of ways, including static HTML-coded web pages, file downloads and uploads, text documents, image files, and more.

Deploying ASP.Net MVC Application on IIS Server

Step 1

Create the ASP.net MVC Application using Visual Studio.

Select the Project Type as MVC and hit the create button.

Now our Project is in the initial Deployment stage.

Now our application is ready for Deployment on IIS Server.

Step 2

Now right click on the application and hit the publish option.

Step 3

Select the deployment options.

We will select the Folder option.

Create the Directory in your system for Application Build.

 

Select your folder for application build.

Hit the Finish button and we are good to go.

Our application build was created successfully.

Our Deployment Build is ready.

Step 4

Open the IIS Server.

Right click on the websites and add a new website. Give the name of the website and add the physical path for your application where you stored the application build. The next step will be to give the Hostname to your website (Simply the Domain Name)

You can see the setting in the below screenshot.

Now click the OK button.

Step 5

Open the C Drive and find the system 32 Folder. Open the Driver Folder and after that, open the etc. folder and then open the Host File

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Open the Host file using Notepad.

Now open CMD and find your IP Address.

Set the IP Address and Host name in Host file in the way I am doing below.

Now go to IIS Server and browse your website.

Now our application is live on IIS Server.
