If you're getting prompted to login to your new site collection, try three times and get thrown back, you're likely going to have to disable the loopback check:
To set the DisableLoopbackCheck registry key, follow these steps:
1. Set the DisableStrictNameChecking registry entry to 1. For more information about how to do this, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
4. Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
6. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Creating a Site Colleciton in SharePoint 2010
After creating a web application, you should next create a site collection:
1) Go to Central Administration -> Application Management and under Site Collection select "Create Site Collections".
2) Give it a title, url and then select the template you'd like to use.
3) Assign the Site Collection Administrators and press okay.
Now your site collection will be created. BUT, since we want to use the host headers, you should go to your C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add the IP of your machine to that file along with your host header.
