Sitecore Multiple Site Set up..host names

So I am trying to set up in sitecore to handle multi site set up with two different host headers. But no matter what I do it always reverts to default site with either host header.

So At the moment my default is in my web config as follows :

<site name="website" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content" startItem="/Home Page" database="web" domain="extranet" allowDebug="true" cacheHtml="true" htmlCacheSize="10MB" registryCacheSize="0" viewStateCacheSize="0" xslCacheSize="5MB" filteredItemsCacheSize="2MB" enablePreview="true" enableWebEdit="true" enableDebugger="true" disableClientData="false" hostname="localhost" loginPage="/Account/SourceLoginRouter" />

And the new one I am trying to add in then

<site name="SmartEmea" hostName="secondSite" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content/SmartEmea" startItem="/Home" database="master" domain="extranet" allowDebug="true" cacheHtml="true" htmlCacheSize="10MB" enablePreview="true" enableWebEdit="true" enableDebugger="true" disableClientData="false" language="nl-NL" customLinkManager="ValtechLinkManager"/>

And my host file is as follows

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       secondSite

But no matter what it always reverts to website and its rootpath of /sitecore/content

You must make sure the "website" <site ... /> node is LAST of all of the configured sites. This "website" node acts as a catch-all. As a request come in, it goes down the <site ... /> nodes and matches against each hostName until it find a site to run. If you have "website" first, it will just run since it catches on any host.

E.g.

<site name="SmartEmea" hostName="secondSite" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content/SmartEmea" startItem="/Home" database="master" domain="extranet" allowDebug="true" cacheHtml="true" htmlCacheSize="10MB" enablePreview="true" enableWebEdit="true" enableDebugger="true" disableClientData="false" language="nl-NL" customLinkManager="ValtechLinkManager"/>
<site name="website" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content" startItem="/Home Page" database="web" domain="extranet" allowDebug="true" cacheHtml="true" htmlCacheSize="10MB" registryCacheSize="0" viewStateCacheSize="0" xslCacheSize="5MB" filteredItemsCacheSize="2MB" enablePreview="true" enableWebEdit="true" enableDebugger="true" disableClientData="false" hostname="localhost" loginPage="/Account/SourceLoginRouter" />
