I have decided to go with host-named site collections during our SharePoint 2013 migration and have been testing a single site collection to start and everything worked great. I was able to add a CNAME record to my DNS and browse to my new host-named collection just fine. BUT, since I am preparing PowerShell scripts to create the 24+ collections required for our migration, I delete the collection after a test, delete the content database, and start again. Now, after I execute my script which creates the content database (SP2013_Content_3) and then creates the host-named site collection (http://hostnamedsite.ourdomain.com) and everything appears to be fine. Until I attempt to browse to the new site. When I do, I get just the HTTP header information for that site. I tried browsing to the default page specifically and all I get is a blank page. I look at the source of the page and it has just empty HTML tags.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I have done wrong? Once a host-named collection is created, is there something special that has to happen to delete that site other than going to CA and deleting the site collection?
