Create your own web server and FTP server in IIS 7 (Windows) | Free template

Here you can download a free tutorial to create your own web server and your own FTP server in IIS 7 on your own server computer or on a rented server.

A web server on your own server computer or on a rented server gives you as a web developer full control over your websites and this means that your code does not affect others' websites and that other websites does not affect your website. A dedicated web server means that you must monitor the web server by yourself to ensure that your website is accessible on the Internet and you also have to maintain the security of your web server. Using a web hosting service for your web sites means less control, but also less work on the web server.

This template for creating your own web server and FTP server in IIS 7 includes a detailed instruction on how to set up an FTP server, add websites on the web server and upload files to the FTP server. In order to establish a web server and an FTP server you must first install IIS 7 and "FTP Publishing Service for IIS 7" on the computer that should act as a web server. You'll also need an FTP program to upload files to websites on the web server.

You can have multiple websites in different folders on a web server if you have a unique domain name or host name for each website. An FTP server must also have a unique domain name or host name as you normally would want to reach the root directory when you connect to the FTP server, the hostname of an FTP server can be a subdomain to another domain name or host name.
