Setting Up an Internet Site Fo

The first edition of Setting Up An Internet Site For Dummies helped thousands make the leap from creating occasional Web pages to creating whole business or organizational Web sites that are built to last. Now, because the Internet is the "movingest" target there ever was, authors Jason and Ted Coombs have completely updated their indispensable guide for this second edition. Here, you can find out how to take advantage of more than just the Web portion of the Internet by setting up FTP servers for uploading and downloading files; list servers for efficient, automated e-mail newsletters; newsgroup servers to provide lively discussion forums; and e-mail servers to keep people in touch. Setting Up An Internet Site For Dummies, 2nd Edition also serves up the latest information on everything from encryption and privacy to electronic commerce and site promotion. Plus, on the bonus CD-ROM accompanying the book, you get valuable software, including NetPresenz for FTP management on Macs; Wildcat! Interactive Net Server for Internet administration on Windows platforms; FirstClass Evaluation Server, an evaluation version of SoftArc's server management software for Macs and Windows; Claris Home Page 2.0, a trial version of the easy-to-use Web-authoring software for Macs and Windows; and Adobe PageMill 1.0, the popular Web-authoring software for Macs.

In addition to helping you set up features such as search engines, forms, and automatic mail responders, the authors also suggest content that can add extra functions, entertainment, and even profit to your site. The enclosed CD-ROM contains a variety of software for useful site creation and maintenance. --Elizabeth Lewis
