IIS 7 Creating New Website

I'm trying to learn IIS and I'm creating a basic website locally on my computer. Here's what I did...

  1. Open IIS 7 Manager
  2. Right Click "Sites"
  3. Click "Add Website"
  4. Set "Site Name"
  5. Set "Physical Path" with a file called "default.htm" (c:\inetput\site1)
  6. Set "Host name:" to site1.com
  7. Click OK

When I try to go to my new site1.com (not www, I've yet to set that binding) I keep getting a message saying that the server "is taking too long to respond".

What am I doing wrong?

P.S. - I'm using Windows 8.

site1.com probably isn't resolving since there's no DNS entry for it. You'll need to add an entry in your hosts file for site1.com or try accessing it directly by the IP address you assigned.
