for a simple web server servicing less than a few thousand hits per day, any old PC with a pentiumIII cpu will do the job.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
no, it does't matter at all from a server perspective, but it may matter from a security perspective - for example, if you use one interface to cvonnect direct to internet, and the other to your secured LAN, then that can be bad. But if you only need to use one interface, or connet both to the internet, then that is just fine.<br />

I just want to ask what are the requirement in establishing web server (windows based) both hardware and software.

Requirement on web server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

Web Servers

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
