Have you got PortalAlias entries to match the other domains you want to activate the website?

DNN is capable of serving several completely different web sites off a single install, with a single database.  This feature is largely driven off the PortalAlias table. 

Fastest is to work directly in the Database.  Look in the PortalAlias table.  Here is a sample from one of my sites...

PortalAliasID    PortalID    HTTPAlias    CreatedByUserID    CreatedOnDate    LastModifiedByUserID    LastModifiedOnDate    BrowserType    Skin    CultureCode    IsPrimary
2                0           www.wva.org.uk    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    0
7                0           localhost/VolleyballResults    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    0

These show that PortalId zero - the only one in this install - can respond to www.wva.org.uk or to localhost/VolleyballResults.

You *must also* have suitable DNS records and IIS configuration to get the request to the DNN install in the first place.  If you are seeing DNN generated messages it suggests you have those working.

It is also possible to edit these settings inside the UI.

One extra point. If it genuinely cannot find the web site; that suggests missing/broken DNS entries, or missing/broken IIS settings. They are nothing to do with DNN, it cannot configure them, and any other web site tool would have the same problem.
