Why does my “default web site” have a question mark icon

My “default web site” in IIS 7.5 didn’t have the usual “stopped” or “globe” icon. It was a question mark on the globe instead. 

In my case, it had to do with multiple bindings. If you edit the bindings in the action panel you will find multiple protocols for this instance. Prune the list back down to just one (usually http: or https:) and the icon returns to the expected globe.
