Internet Information Server

Windows Server 2008, with Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0), provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services. More than just a Web server, IIS 7.0 is a major enhancement to the Windows Web platform and plays a central role in unifying Microsoft Web platform technologies—ASP.NET, Windows Communication Foundation Web services, and Windows SharePoint Services.
