Setting up a Windows as a Web Server

In this lab we look at Windows built in utilities to enable a web server.

1. Start by going to the control panel > Programs > Turn Windows Features on / off.
2. Check all the boxes for Internet Information services. The system will take a moment to install the new features and enable the web server.
3. Open Notepad and create your html code. Here is the very simple code I used in this example

4. Save the file to C:/inetpub/wwwroot as a .html file. 

5. Open a web browser and type localhost/homepage.html or yourip/homepage.html
