I googled on “iis virtial host”
and got these references that look useful:

Yes you may be one of the few people using IIS 😉
Of course you could ask microsft support.
Most people use a bundle such as LAMP / WAMP / MAMP / XAMP etc. One comprehensive package is available at:

My usual response to this question for apache web server is:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/
Great thank you. I’ll dig into those links and report back. I figure as close as I can get to the production environment the better so we’ll see how this goes!
Ok so this whole processed acted like it should be a lot harder than it truly was. So what I did:
-Update hosts file with new “domains.”
-Make sure you don’t have another “site” under Default Web Site as wordpress in IIS. I had to trick it here. Move the files in explorer back into the wwwroot directory, delete the “website” wordpress from IIS. Restart IIS, move the files back into the wordpress folder in explorer, make sure the Physical Path under Basic Settings for Default Web Site in IIS is still %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpress
-In IIS edit the Bindings for the Default Website. Edit the original to be your main domain and then add your additional hosts.
-Restart IIS
-Clear browser cache and cookies
-Happy dance.
I hope that makes sense to everyone else out there.
