What is IIS (Internet Information Services)

Internet Information Services (IIS) is an extensible web server created by Microsoft for use with Windows Operating systems. IIS will be present in all the Windows operating systems by default, but we must turn it on from the control panel to use this tool



Versions of IIS: 

Microsoft releases different versions of Operating systems, they classify into 2 types. Home edition & Server edition. Home edition means the normal Windows operating systems we use in our laptops like Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 etc. Server operating systems be like Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 etc. Each time when Microsoft releases a home operating system, it will also release a server operating system along with that
