internet Information Services is used to make your computer a web server

. If we want to have a web server for developing dynamic website or want to publish website on our own server then we install the IIS. IIS is used on windows plate form. For other plate form we have different web servers. E.g. apache for Linux.

IIS takes request from user and executes the required files and sends result back to the user. IIS server also provides the services of SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol). We can send emails using SMTP. FrontPage server extensions are also the part of IIS. Using FrontPage server extension we can use the dynamic features of IIS like form handler, Hit counter and etc.

To install IIS you must have your operating systems CD (Win XP or Win 2K). Go to control panel and select "Add Remove Programs". From that window select "Add Remove Windows Components". After this you can see Internet Information Services checkbox. Select this and press OK. Installation will be started, during this installation it will ask you to give the path of your Windows CD. Select from browse and give the path of Windows CD. After some time the installation process will be done. And IIS can be used.
