Adding binding to an IIS site returns ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I have published my web API application on IIS, created a site, and then hit click on Browse Web Site to open it, and everything went well.

After I had added a binding so the application could be accessed through a path like http://example.com and then hit again the browse button on the new binding, the response was:

example.com's server DNS address could not be found.

ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I had tried in different combinations like www.example.com or just example when adding the binding, also for given IP addresses, or for all IP addresses (marked with *), but it was the same behavior for the new binding.

What can cause this behavior?

You need to set a host entry to resolve DNS.
