If running the system on IIS (Internet Information Server ) it might be usefull if a old Office-Version is availiable to work a little bit for experience with the Frontpage-editor for simple creation of pages.

Independent which of the choices have beeen made - you then will have at your home a PC where you can run a web as "localhost" under "real-life-condition" and you then are not restricted to the KompoZer running at the Mac. The second is that both have differences for example in handling a small database ( used for example for a guest-book ), handling of frames and tables within the pages, handling page-hit-counters and so on.Īllthough you might use KompoZer at the Mac - it might be better to run also at home a system similer to the one that will be used at the hosting company to be able to realy test pages in "real-action" prior of uploading it.īoth can be simulated very simple with a pentium PC - either installing LINUX on the PC and thereafter installing "LAMP" picked up from the open-source-platform or at the other option installing Windows XP SP2 on the PC and thereafter installing the Internet-Information-Server to that PC from the XP-System by demanding it to be installed from the Installation-CD by accessing the system menu - option software - option systemcomponents - option WWW-components. There are slight but important diffeneces between both kinds of hosting systems - for example the LINUX based ones are usually cheaper in charge when taken from a hosting company instead of the Windows-systems with Internet-Information-Server. Between these both plattforms there are large differences and you should collect information and then first make a decassion for one of the lanes to walk along. The LINUX-system with apache will operate scripts preferrable with PHP-script-language while the PC-Windows system with Internet Information Server will be running Active-Server-Pages-Language ( in short called " ASP" ). Before starting up a web-site my first advise would be to think about this topic first, due to the fact that between these both system-platforms there are important differences. In 99% of the cases the companies that offer hosting to the net - run their systems on either LINUX with an apache web-server or an Windows-PC with Internet-Information-Server. Up to your question i just want to share some of the points about the topic with you:

So i had the luck that my room companion took along his web-book and i could lend it for a short time going down to the groundfloor in the cafe in the garden-area and that cafe offering a public-wlan-netpoint which enables me to access the net for some sparetime before i may be permitted to go home at the end of the next week. Surgery went well and i just have to waist up the next days here in the hospital for care of the wound and some inspections.
