+# IIS Web
+Create or update website bindings in IIS, according to the following logic:
+
+- Existing https bindings in *any* site linked to the previous certificate are updated to use the new certificate.
+- Hosts names which are determined to not yet have been covered by any existing binding, will be processed further.
+ - All existing https bindings in *target* site whose hostnames match with the new certificate are updated
+ to use the new certificate. This happens even if they are using certificates issued by other authorities.
+ (Note that if you want to prevent this from happening, you can use the `--excludebindings` switch).
+ - If no existing https binding can be found, a new binding is created.
+ - It will create bindings on the specified installation site and fall back to the target site if there is none.
+ - It will use port `443` on IP `*` unless different values are specified with the `--sslport` and/or
+ `--sslipaddress` switches.
+ - New bindings will be created or updated for matching host headers with the most specific match. E.g. if you
+ generate a certificate for `a.b.c.com`, the order of preference for the binding creation/change will be:
+ 1. a.b.c.com
+ 2. *.b.c.com
+ 3. *.c.com
+ 4. *.com
+ 5. Default (emtpy) binding
+ - If the certificate contains a wildcard domain, the order of preference will be:
+ 1. *.a.b.c.com
+ 2. x.a.b.c.com
+ - In both cases, the first preferred option will be created from scratch if none of the later options
+ are available.
+ - In some cases the plugin will not be able to (safely) add a new binding on older versions of IIS, e.g. due to
+ lack of support for SNI and/or wildcard bindings. In that case the user will have to create them manually.
+ Renewals will still be automatic after this initial manual setup.
