THANK YOU SO MUCH!! When I look for help with iis, most of the people hosting sites are using nginx or some non-windows based platform, which makes finding help for iis a bit harder. But thanks again, this is probably the most helpful channel when it comes to iis errors!!

Thanks for the video and such a detailed explanations. > However, i am facing a problem. I did exactly the same as you did in this video. I am working on a personal project , but after rewriting the code in web.config file, i get the error in the browser as "This webpage has a redirect loop" "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS".
After googling a little , they asked me to clear the cookies from the chrom browser. It did not work in IE as well. I made sure that a tags have proper hrefs without .html extension.
Any kind of suggestion would be great :)

Thank you, this worked but now I am no longer able to access the website from inside my network. I host my website internally. I can access the website from outside of the network. Please help.

Ok, So the problem is solved if any one finds the same ... The problem is the directory structure of your project. This video shows the web config setting only if the html files are NOT in any folder and are in the ROOT of the project. In my case all my html files are in a folder called html..
This is my project directory structure.
Project Name -> html(folder) -> html files.
The error that i was getting was "This webpage has a redirect loop" "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS". , which was basically telling me too may redirects. . I tried creating an html file in the root and tried to redirect there and BOOM... it worked..
Now you can always play with finding a solution to that problem.. however i found an easier rewrite rule which takes care of the directory structure.

This is it !!! MUCH simpler to understand as well
