We have an existing SharePoint web application with all path based site collections (PBSC) hosted in with a DNS named as 'abc.company.com' for example. We need one site collection in the same web application but with different DNS named as 'xyz.company.com'. I had a thought of implementing this site collection as Host Named Site Collection (HNSC). however, this web application already exists with host header.
I have read about HNSC and PBSC can exist in same web application. Is it possible to create HNSC in web application with host header?
Is it a good idea to extend the web application just for different name to a specific site collection?
Please suggest a right solution and efficient way to do this.
