How to setup & configure website hosting using Windows 2008 Server and IIS7 

I know that this video is old. But I just want it to say that your English is so perfect and so easy to understand. Thanks for the video.

What an absolutely perfect video. I have no tech background and have literally no idea wtf I'm doing and everything I've read or seen so far has brought me tons of confusion, except this. You don't leave anything out that I need to know, nor add anything in that's unnecessary, and you do it all at an excellent pace. I'll definitely be subscribing and watching every video you made. Thanks so much!

This is the best tutorial in IT I have ever seen.

I can't believe that there is thumbs down on this, this is an excellent video. Thanks, and you should be a professor, it's a compliment!

I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Clearly explained and easy to follow. Well done and keep up the brilliant work!

Excellent Tutorial. I followed the video along and my site was ready!

I have a site I made with visual studio and it has aspx files, flash swf files, and mysql activity. I currently use a host but they are down too often so I was wondering if this is the best route to take to serve the page myself. Should I use this? 2012? something else? My IP is dynamic, so is it still possible to do from home? Thanks in advance.

in root folder as you have to add html files , which one is going to be the index file ( i mean mainpage file), so how IIS will identify it

GREAT VIDEO -- But .... I'm using IIS 10 and in IIS 10, under web site page, there is no icon for "Logs". What can you suggest? It would be great if you could do a newer video using Internet Information Services (IIS) 10. Many of the icons in your video are no longer present in IIS 10.

How i can use iis with my php website.? Could you help me with that too. Thanks

Thank you for the informative tutorial. I also after filling into the hostname. The added website will not come up. When I leave the hostname empty, the website will up. How can I correct the hostname problem? Thanks.

I got as far as the add new user under security permissions but my website name is not accepted and is not also appearing under find. The IIS USERNAME appear without my webname. what must I do

Thank you!

However when i remove the "Host Name" field in edit bindings blank, it shows the page, address bar says Not secure | [IP]

Can you do a video on how to actually set up FTP?

how to create NS records on server to host a website on server ?

In your example.com site you discuss the way that if it were a real we could browse the holding page in the URL feature of Internet Explorer. Can you expand a bit on this? I am personally trying to avoid availing of the services of hosting companies by creating my own domain name. I want to incorporate the wordpress.org content management system to allow permissions but I am unsure who I can do this. As with the holding page do I transfer my wordpress blog site into the www.root created or as suggested would I need to use an FTP. I am somewhat confused in this regard. Secondly I have a Wamp server is this effectively the same or what is the difference if any to the IIS7 2008 Server. As I said I have being trying to host my own site without the services of a hosting service and in effect, to the best my knowledge will allow me to create my own Domain Name, has your example.com did. I am not sure if I am barking up the wrong tree or have misunderstood the function of the IIS7 2008 Sever but can one go real without availing of hosting service involved and if so how can it be done? Any assist in clearing up this would be of great help. Thanks

Thanks. One question: Don't we need to set up DNS records for the hosted website?

will be an update to this at some point...if there please link to me...

Hi after i setup all of it and my "host name" is what i registered with GoDaddy, it says error_connection_timed_out and does not load my home page. The same was working when I added my site under "Default Web Site" as "Add Application". What's the issue? so "localhost/mysite" works but "web.mysite.com" does not work

Please note that I like your video but also note that the video quality is not good and could you please let me the next part of this video? Thanks

my website name is website1. But whenever i try to add the user with the command IIS APPPOOL\website1 it says the user doesn't exist.

Dear author, Can you help me. I'm doing all like you, but final step does't work. I mean I can't watch *.html like www.adress.local on my Server. Why?

Hi Clint, I like your video, can you assist me please with IIS setup, thanks

lol, you sounds like GRRM :D

for the people that cant find iis management (internet information services) you need to enable it...you need to go into server manager and select "winRM iis extension" use this link to help you stackoverflow.com/questions/17457614/how-do-i-get-to-iis-manager

Nothing is more annoying than hearing the words "left click" - just say click for God Sake !

lol

a lot of "water is wet" type of explanations. useless time-spending.

you DO NOT(!) need to left click in order to right click. let alone fuck our time with telling a lot of useless words for this so complicated process...

This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "site hosting server" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Riyackenzie Hosting Highlighter - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

really useful, thank you
