yes. add usewebroot call in program class:

public static void main(string[] args) {     var host = new webhostbuilder()         .usekestrel()         .usewebroot("myroot") // name whatever want         .usecontentroot(directory.getcurrentdirectory())         .useiisintegration()         .usestartup<startup>()         .build();      host.run(); } 

are there side effects change?

here 3 can think of:

1. the bower package manager not work properly, looks lib folder in wwwroot. i'm not if configurable.
2. you need fix bundleconfig.json @ new directory.
3. you need update include portion in project.json include new directory in publish output.
