title: Setup website alias in IIS to hide port number
body: <p>Somebody once told me that it's possible to make some kind of alias for your website in IIS, so that users can just navigate to the (intranet) page, without being troubled with port numbers.</p>
  
  <p>E.g.</p>
  
  <p><code>intranet.company.net:8081</code></p>
  
  <p>can be aliased to</p>
  
  <p><code>application.intranet.company.net</code></p>
  
  <p>I have no idea where to look to create these aliases in IIS, surprisingly enough searching for "alias iis" on Google / SO doesn't give me meaningful hits. Maybe it is simply not possible, but I really thought it was...</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot in advance.</p>
