I'm trying to host web pages using Win Server 2016. Currently, I have Jira and my personal web (IIS) servers. Using AWS, I currently have "myec2.com:port1" and "myec2.com/port2" running fine. And I'm planning to buy a domain "myname.com" to be connected to "myec2.long.name.com"
What I hope to do is "myname.com/jira" and "myname.com/mypage" or "jira.myname.com" and "mypage.myname.com" can redirect to Jira server and the IIS server. Is there a way I can achieve this goal?
Thanks in advance.
If you buy a domain like myname.com you will be able to configure any number of sub-domains such as jira.myname.com or mypage.myname.com as you like.
Usually what you would do is point those sub-domains to your server's IP then handle requests to those domains by setting up a web server (like apache or nginx) and configuring a virtual host (apache) or a server block (nginx) for each one of those sub-domains.

how can build a VPN server for using some sites?
for example, I want to build a VPN server for just viewing example.com and asite.com, and when anyone wants to see other sites requests will be failed.
You can solve this problem with IP restriction
You can easily run this with Mikrotik
so I am setting up a server for a messaging application which is being developed. I am using openfire server for this which I have installed and running on a PC. Right now, the xmpp domain is set to my computer name and server is working on my network, but obviously as its a local name it cannot be accessed from the outside.I am able to access the server from multiple computers on the same network using the Spark messaging client to test the server. So to be able to access my XMPP server from devices outside my network, do I just buy a domain name and set it as my XMPP domain in Openfire settings?
To answer your question, yes, with the following caveats:
You will either have to host the DNS server yourself or have the DNS provider serve the records for you.
A domain must have a static IP to address to point to. A home or a typical small business Internet account does not include a static IP (some providers actively prevent home accounts from serving web pages/services).
You must also configure your firewall to allow a mapping to the internal server.
I would recommend using an external provider to handle the network and hosting services for your program.
I have two servers , Server #1 one hosted in the office using the office network (this hosts the tableau server on ubuntu server) and the other server Server #2 sitting in another collocated network. The web application is hosted in server #2 and the tableau dashboards are embended on the web application.
When I try to access the application from another public network , the dashboards are working very well, however when I try to access the dashboards from the office network (which hosts the tablueau server ), I get the following error =>
That error is generally caused by one of two issues
The IP Address of Webserver hosting the IFrame was not whitelisted under Trusted Authentication in TSM or Add Trusted IP Addresses or Host Names to Tableau Server
or
The trusted user does not exist on the Tableau server and/or the username does not match what was passed to the webserver from your web application hosting the Iframe.
We have trusted_ticket_expiry set to 240 minutes.

Can a WCF RESTful service and a regular site/www service be hosted concurrently? Or do I need a seperate machine to host WCF?
Thanks.
Yes. they can be hosted on the same machine (depending on whether you are using shared hosting). If you have the permission, you just need to bind them to different ports.
For example, if your website is hosted on port 80 (which is usually the default), then you can create another website on the same machine hosted on port 8080 for the WCF HTTP service.
If your website is a .NET app pool, you can even host the WCF service inside the same app pool as your website, by using a virtual directory.
Also, you can host multiple websites on the same port if you differentiate them by host headers.
We are using Server 2008 R IIS 7.5 with an SQL DB on the backend. At the moment the system is working fine with three of the servers configured in a load balancing farm while communicating data back to the SQL DB. All of these servers are free standing on their own subnet with a common admin and password. The question is… is there an advantage for making one server a PDC and creating their own domain and joining the rest of the remember servers to the domain?
I investigated this when setting up a similar web farm and all of the resources I queried said that for security reasons you should definitely not join web servers in a DMZ with a domain on a private network.
Most resources also suggested that it wasn't a great idea to create a separate domain in your DMZ for the web servers.
So I opted to do the same thing and just have stand alone servers that share admin username and password and I've been running them for over a year and have no regrets about my decision.
