Since its debut as the first Windows Web server, WebSite has developed a large following of the most savvy and experienced Webmasters. While providing the latest innovations in Web server technology, WebSite Professional offers more options for creating dynamic sites than any other Windows Web server. From programmability and publishing power to commerce and security, it is the most open, flexible, and robust Web server on the market. With version 2.0, O'Reilly once again ups the ante and redefines what a Web server should be.

More Options for Creating Dynamic Sites If your Web sites consist of more than just static HTML pages, this is the server for you. No other Web server provides as many powerful options for serving dynamic content and Web-based applications using the tools you prefer. With WebSite Professional 2.0 you can:

• Use the scripting language of your choice. You can use VBScript, JScript, Perl, or Python with Microsoft's Active Server Pages and WebSite Pro's integrated, easy-to-use ASP administration.
• Get more functionality with the powerful, easy-to-learn iHTML. iHTML Pro, WebSite Pro's new, built-in HTML extension framework, gives you over 100 additional HTML-like tags that execute on the server and work with any browser. You can accomplish everything from ODBC database access to file manipulation, from IF...THEN statements to dynamic graphic creation and more, simply by adding the HTML-like iHTML tags to your documents (no additional files needed!).
• Enjoy unlimited extensibility through Application Programming Interface (API) technology. WebSite Pro offers its own WebSite API (WSAPI), which exposes over 40 WebSite internal server functions, and greatly simplifies development over other server APIs. WebSite also supports Microsoft's ISAPI for compatibility with hundreds of third-party products.
• Build complex Web applications using WebSite's unmatched server-side Java support. WebSite Professional gives you lightning-fast server-side Java support with its embedded JDK 1.1 interpreter and a unique Java API, which allows for faster and more powerful Web-based Java development than ever before.

A Solid Merchant Solution WebSite Pro 2.0 includes its own merchant server, iHTML Merchant, which makes launching your own Web store a breeze. iHTML Merchant gives you a straightforward, fully customizable and extensible set of tools to set up and manage an online store. The setup and management of multiple stores is done through a simple Web-based interface for full remote administration. Since iHTML Merchant is built on open iHTML code--not a closed executable--you have unlimited customizability simply by editing the HTML pages.

Top-of-the-Line Security WebSite Professional offers advanced security, using SSL-3 and a bevy of new features. It provides support for native Windows NT authentication, in addition to WebSite's own users, groups, and realms; as well as support for Microsoft NTLM authentication, eliminating the need for users to enter usernames and passwords on NT-based intranets. Separate anonymous accounts for virtual servers allow for protected CGI/API uploads. A new Key Ring Manager provides graphical control over private/public key pairs, certificates, and trusted roots.

More Great Features and Accessories WebSite Professional provides a host of other powerful features, including:

• HTTP/1.1 persistent connections and byte-range support
• IP-less virtual servers (multiple virtual servers sharing a single IP address)

To give you a jump-start in developing dynamic Web applications, WebSite Professional comes with Software Development Kits with examples for server-side Java, Perl 5 for Win32, WSAPI, and Visual Basic CGI. Also included is the award-winning HTML editor, HomeSite 2.5, along with some of the finest Web server accessory programs available:

• WebView, providing a fast graphical outline of Web documents and links for managing your site, logging statistics, and more
• QuickStats, which processes any log format, any size, and gives you instant answers to who's been accessing your sites and how much
• WebIndex for allowing users to easily search your entire site

Unmatched Documentation Plus Installation Support WebSite Professional 2.0 includes the finest documentation available -- two books, with over 900 pages of concise, detailed instruction. And when you register, you'll receive 30 days of free technical support for basic server installation.
