Subdomains for site collections

In order to be able to use subdomains for different sitecollections, we have to use hostheaders. Sharad Kumar provides a good example:

$w = Get-SPWebApplication http://sitename
New-SPSite http://www.contoso.com 
    -OwnerAlias "DOMAIN\\jdoe" -HostHeaderWebApplication $w 
    -Name "Contoso" -Template "STS#0"
```If we want to create, say http://rockets.contoso.com, we can run:

New-SPSite http://rockets.contoso.com -OwnerAlias “DOMAIN\jdoe” -HostHeaderWebApplication “http://sitename” -Name “Rockets” -Template “STS#0” -Language 1053

restart-service iisadmin
