All the information and software you need to set up your own Web server: No experience necessary!

Nowadays, anyone can “surf” the World Wide Web. But many people assume that if you want to put your own information on the Web, you'll have to spend thousands of dollars on specialized computers and consultants.

The truth is, you can set up your own Web server, even if you have little or no Web experience. This book shows you how: step-by-step, with no hype. And it covers all the software you'll need, too―whether you use Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows NT, Macintosh, or UNIX. Starting with the absolute basics, you'll learn how to:

• Set goals for your Web server
• Choose your hardware and software
• Choose the right Internet service provider
• Get a domain name and IP address
• Build your site, step-by-step
• Add pictures, forms, and interactivity
• Test, maintain, and update your site
• Publicize your site
• Make your site secure

Better yet, with The Web Server Handbook, you can build an attractive site customized to your own needs―not just a cookie-cutter site that looks like everyone else's. You'll even find quick-reference guides to many important tools for Web site operators, including HTML, Perl programming, TCP/IP networking, and basic UNIX.

The Web Server Handbook's CD-ROM is compatible with Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX systems; it contains the Internet's most popular Web Servers, including those from Apache, CERN, and NCSA, and a 60-day trial version of the WebSite Windows NT Web Server.

The CD-ROM also contains dozens of helper applications and Web pages with built-in links to extensive on-line resources―even a Web site just for readers of this book.

Why pay a fortune for a Web site? Do it yourself, with The Web Server Handbook/CD-ROM! It contains everything you need to create your own Web Server.
