There are a few methods to support multiple sites on a server.

You can use hostheaders and set up multiple sites in IIS pointing each site
to it's own folder. Or you can set multiple sites with their own IP or own
port number.

You could also use a tool like ISAPI ReWrite which would allow you to point
each domain name to the same IP and same web root (just one site in IIS) and
it would "read" the domain name entered then redirect based on the domain.
It's quite a neat little tool and the user can't tell that each of the
"sites" are actually hosted under one site on the server.
