  2. Under Browse Website, click the appropriate option.

  3. Open Server Manager and click Manage.

  4. Click Add Roles and Features.

    The Add Roles and Features Wizard appears.

    Follow these steps:

    1. On the Before you Begin tab, click Next.
    2. On the Installation Type tab, click Role-based or Feature-based Installation.
    3. On the Server Selection tab, click Default.
    4. On the Server Roles tab, select Web Server (IIS) > Common HTTP Features (Installed). Also, ensure that HTTP Redirection is selected.
    5. Click Install.

    Once done, the Default Web Site option is available.
