But despite the huge amount of "everything" that takes place in this system, there are those moments that confuse PC users because they are in some way "hidden" and not fully functional. That's why, we decided to consider one of these cases today and tell about IIS in Windows 10, so that you have the opportunity to realize the more globally functional features of this product and the basic principles of its operation.

If you do not know the abbreviation "IIS", then in the decrypted version, it sounds like: "Internet Information Service". Thus, it becomes clear that iis is a set of tools designed to help the user: create sites, edit sites and manage these same sites. In addition, the Internet resource created by you, will consider your PC to be a real hosting, which allows you to personally deploy an Internet project of almost any complexity. If necessary, several sites can safely exist on your "hosting" and at the same time, each resource will have its own management settings.
