IIS ( Internet Information Server) is an Internet server from Microsoft, so what that means is if you install IIS, you can use your computer to host your own website.
- Go to Start->Control Panel -> Programs
- Under Programs and Features, click “Turn Windows features on or off”
- Click “Internet Information Services”, You can also select which feature of IIS you want to enable or disable, select what you want to run, then click “OK”
- Once installed, you computer will be able to function as a web server. Please note that with IIS enabled, your computer may see a decrease in performance since there is an extra load on the system.
- To see your webpage, simply open your web browser and type in the address “ [ LINK ] “
Publishing webpages and make your web server accessible to the world is beyond the scope of this article.
