How to Create and Host a Web Page of IIS server

IIS Web Server

Web Server is a computer that delivers “Web Pages”. Every web server has an IP address & possibly Domain

name. For example, if you enter the

URL: http://www.techoinfotech.com/index.html

In your browser, this sends a request to the server whose domain name is vikas.com. The server then fetches

the page named index.html and sends it to your browser.

(Note In above URL we can use IP address & Domain name as well)

You can run many web sites with different IP address or Different Port No.

By Default “Web Server uses http protocol on port no. 80/tcp”

To configure Web Server:

1. Create a Web Page.

2. Install Internet Information Service (IIS)

Go to Control Panel – Add Remove Programs – Add Remove Windows Component – Select

Application Server – Details – Check IIS – Ok – Next – up to Finish.
