Source Text For Default Internet Web Site

Creating and publishing an Internet Web site is easy!

To begin, you must first create a home page for your Web site. There are a number of ways to create a Web page.

• You can create your Web page using Microsoft FrontPage. With FrontPage, you can build complex Web pages very easily by using the built-in templates and wizards. FrontPage is not installed during installation of Small Business Server. To install FrontPage, run Setup from the Frontpg directory on Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server Disc 2. When the content is complete, you publish the Web pages to the Internet by selecting Publish FrontPage Web on the File menu.
• Use other software designed to help you create Web pages. For example, to build fully interactive, dynamic Web content, you can use Microsoft® Visual InterDev™, which includes visual development features and powerful database tools for building intranet and Internet applications.
• Use a text editor to type text and HTML coding.

After your Web page is created, you publish the page to your Web site to create your Internet Web site. Contact your Internet Service Provider for specific details on how to accomplish this.

If you're not connected to the Internet, you'll have to establish a connection by signing up with an Internet Service Provider before you can publish your Web site. You can get connected by selecting Sign Up with an Internet Service Provider on the Small Business Server console.

For more information about the Internet and Internet connection options, click Tell me about the Internet on the Manage Internet Access page of the Small Business Server console.

Important   If you replace this page (default.htm) with your own Internet home page, create a backup copy of your page. If you upgrade your Small Business Server using the Upgrade option in Small Business Server Setup, Setup will replace your existing default.htm with this instruction template for creating an intranet Web site. Note that Setup will not replace or modify any other files in the root of the WWWROOT directory. After you perform an upgrade, restore your intranet home page by copying your backup default.htm to the %systemdrive%:\INETPUB\WWWROOT directory.
