Access two sites hosted on my IIS server with the same port?

I currently have two websites hosted on my IIS 7 server. Each website has its own host name but shares the same port (80).

Everything works great locally to access the two sites:

Site #1: http://localhost/ -> http://arcadiastudio.ch

Site #2: http://webService.ch/

But from the outside I cannot reach my second website hosted on the same port. I do not know what to put in the URL:

Site #2: http://arcadiastudio.ch/??

Here is what I have in my host file:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       webService.ch
::1             localhost

This should be very simple. All you need to do is to have each hostname specified in your hosts file. In your case, your host file on your local PC should look like:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       webService.ch
::1             localhost
127.0.0.1       arcadiastudio.ch

And the hosts file on your remote PC should look like:

127.0.0.1       localhost
<remote_ip>     webService.ch
::1             localhost
<remote_ip>     arcadiastudio.ch

Obviously, you need to change <remote_ip> to the IP address of your web-server.

Also, if you want to allow any remote PC to connect, you will need to register your domain names for DNS - you can't edit every host file in the world!!
