How to use domain name instead of localhost in IIS Express

Question

I am developing an ASP.Net MVC 4 website on VS 2012 which runs on IIS Express. While running my website locally, I would like to see data.xyz.com instead of localhost/Data in the browser address bar.
I have followed few other questions on SO, mainly this one. But when I run the project, it says Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server.Port '80' is in use.

So for time being, I am using port 8080 to get it to work, which I dont want to. How do I fix this?

Update: More info:
netstat data on port 80

TCP    0.0.0.0:80             0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
TCP    [::]:80                [::]:0                 LISTENING

Can not obtain ownership information for either of the processes.

Thats the one I linked in my question. But couldn't go further as I was getting port 80 in use error message. — Null Head

It was SSRS which was listening on port 80. Had to turn off that process to run my app on port 80.

You should find who is using port 80, I guess you also have full IIS installed? Try to just open http://localhost:80 and see who will respond on this request.

Check Skype, from some version it started to use 80 and 443 ports for incoming connection. Tools->Options->Advanced->Connection.

I get the same error after I changed port numbers and even after quitting it.

btw, you can run "netstat -o" to see who is using your 80 / 443 ports.

@outcoldman Thanks for the Skype hint. This error was killing me and Skype was the knife.
