Why the colons surrounding the port !?

  Basically you're modifying a string that consists of: IP Address:Port:Virtual Host For example: 172.16.1.1:80:www.example.com The raw values reside in an XML config file called "applicationHost.config" which replaces the old school and rather opaque IIS6 metabase. Admittedly that example is a bit old school, there's better commandlets available now that wrap having to manipulate these string values directly. e.g. the New-WebBinding and Set-WebBinding examples shown in sibling comments in this sub-thread. A site config looks like: <site name="MyWebSite" id="3" serverAutoStart="true"> <application path="/" applicationPool="MyWebSite"> <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="D:\websites\mywebsite\www" /> </application> <bindings> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="172.16.1.1:80:example.com" /> <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="172.16.1.1:80:www.example.com" /> <binding protocol="https" bindingInformation="172.16.1.:443:" /> </bindings> </site> None of this is particularly mysterious, and the documentation is pretty good.
