Re: Replacing a web site

Your plan is sound. When switching from one site to another. You would
have very little downtime.

I'm not sure if I worded the question correctly but heres what I would
like
to find out. We are currently running IIS6 on a Windows 2003 server.
Currently, "web site A" is up and running. We created a new web site,
I'll
call it "test web site". Test web site will eventually take the place of
Web
site A. When it comes time to set the Test web site live, do I:

1. Disable Web site A
2. Change the host header value of Test Web site to teh host header value
that Web site A is set to?

Will it be as simple as that or am I missing any steps? Please advise.

Jim
