Hello @Malusoft India

Thanks for using Q and A forum.

To add more web applications under separate subdomains, you need to create DNS records for each subdomain. For example, if your main domain is example.com, you can create subdomains like app1.example.com, app2.example.com, etc. This is typically done in your domain registrar's DNS management panel.

[Configure IIS for New Applications]

1. Open IIS Manager on your Azure VM.
2. Right-click on "Sites" and select "Add Website."
3. Enter the site name, physical path (where your web application files are located), and the subdomain (e.g., app1.example.com).
4. Click "OK" to create the new site.

[Set Up Databases]

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or your preferred database management tool.
2. Create a new database for each web application. For example, create App1DB, App2DB, etc.
3. Configure the connection strings in your web applications to point to their respective databases.

[Test Configuration]

1. Ensure that the web applications are accessible via their subdomains.
2. Test the database connections from each application to verify that they can communicate with their respective databases.
