Hello Everyone,
Today I am

I have gather some info about the product and it's working and hope it will
help you to understand the product.
What is IIS ?
Internet Information
Services (IIS) is a flexible, general-purpose web server from Microsoft that
runs on Windows systems to serve requested HTML pages or files
An IIS web server
accepts requests from remote client computers and returns the appropriate
response. This basic functionality allows web servers to share and deliver
information across local area networks, such as corporate intranets, and wide
area networks, such as the internet.
A web server can
deliver information to users in several forms, such as static webpages coded in
HTML; through file exchanges as downloads and uploads; and text documents,
image files and more.
How it Works ?
IIS works through a
variety of standard languages and protocols. HTML is used to create elements
such as text, buttons, image placements, direct interactions/behaviors and
hyperlinks. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the basic communication
protocol used to exchange information between web servers and users. HTTPS --
HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) -- uses Transport Layer Security or SSL to
encrypt the communication for added data security. The File Transfer Protocol,
or its secure variant, FTPS, can transfer files
