IIS on Windows Server 2025

Secured pre-configured web server IIS

Internet Information Services (IIS) is an advanced, extensible web server developed by Microsoft for use with the Windows NT family of operating systems. It offers significant performance improvements, particularly for large-scale environments such as those utilized by commercial hosting providers and Microsoft's own cloud platforms.

IIS supports a range of protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SMTP, and NNTP, making it a versatile solution for web hosting needs. Although it is an integral component of Windows Server, IIS is not enabled by default and may not be available in certain editions of the operating system.

This image has been specifically designed for customers seeking a pre-configured IIS installation optimized for hosting websites and web applications. It is suitable for scenarios ranging from low to high traffic, providing a streamlined and efficient deployment experience.

Ports

The following network ports are pre-configured to be open during deployment. If you are using a custom Network Security Group (NSG) or firewall solution, ensure these ports are accessible:

• HTTP: 80
• HTTPS: 443
