How to setup Multiple sites (Multi domain sites) in one Sitecore instance in My Local Machine?

I have been trying to configure multiple sites with multiple domain in my local instance.

Sitecore Content tree

Sitecore
   -> Content
      -> Home
      -> PublicHome

I have the following web.config settings.

<site name="website" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content" startItem="/home" 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"/>

<site name="PublicHome" hostName="my.public.com" virtualFolder="/" physicalFolder="/" rootPath="/sitecore/content" startItem="/PublicHome" language="en" database="web" domain="extranet" />

I have created couple of Host file entry.

127.0.0.1 My.Sitecore.com

127.0.0.1 my.public.com

My.Sitecore.com - Loading the Home Page.

But my.public.com is not loading as expected.

When binding was not setup in the IIS site. I was getting IIS Default site.

Once I add the binding on the IIS site. I was getting "Home" instead of "PublicHome".

Version info: Sitecore 7.5, IIS in Windows 10

To fix your immediate issue, add your custom site definition before the default "website" entry.

To better prepare yourself for future upgrades, utilize Sitecore patch attributes and a separate configuration file to apply your custom site definition. (i.e. <site name="PublicHome" patch:before="site[@name='website']">). Read about web.config patching to learn more.
