Customizing IIS Settings on Your Windows Hosting Account

Using your control panel, you can customize the IIS Settings for directories on your website.

To Customize IIS Settings on a Windows Hosting Account Directory

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Click Web Hosting.
3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
4. In the Tools section of the Hosting Control Panel, click the IIS Management icon.
5. To modify an existing directory or directories, select the appropriate directories and click Edit. To set up a new directory, click Create.
6. Type a directory name, select the settings you want to apply to the directory, and click Continue. To set a directory as an application root in IIS, make sure the Anonymous Access and Set Application Root options are selected.
7. Verify the settings for this directory. If the settings listed are correct, click OK.

NOTE TO FRONTPAGE USERS: Microsoft FrontPage manages all directory and subdirectory permissions on your website. If you customized directories on your website, or you are using another tool to build and or manage your website, switching to FrontPage may cause some difficulties. It overwrites all of your directory permissions and may make your site unusable.
