While Microsoft's web hosting is free, users are limited to a specific group of design templates. Images can be uploaded and text can be pasted into the template. Site owners log in through a secure website and access a control panel. The control panel includes the web design tools, site traffic reports and management functions for e-mail.
Features
Microsoft's web hosting comes with 500MB of server space, which is superior to most paid web services. There is an e-commerce add-on feature, which provides a shopping cart and secure site with 128-bit secure socket layering, or SSL. Domain hosting is also provided for $14.95 per year. Without a registered domain, customers are assigned a
.live.com address.
Email Accounts
With the web hosting comes access to 100 e-mail addresses for the company. These accounts include advertising on the webmail portal and in the footer of incoming mail messages to the mail client. Customers can pay $19.95 per year to remove the ads with the premium mail add-on. As part of the premium mail, users receive full e-mail, contacts and calendar synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. Since e-mail runs through Microsoft Live, virus protection and SPAM filtering services are included.
E-Commerce
The product's e-commerce capabilities feature a robust, database-driven architecture. With a capacity to catalog 10,000 items, business owners can manage product descriptions, set up sales tax tables, shipping and handling programs and inventory. The e-commerce tools also feature eBay integration, permitting business owners to offer products on their own store and on the online auction site.
Document Manager
One feature of the web hosting product is a document manager. This allows central storage of critical documents and manages versions so that the most up-to-date file is available to employees. While the document manager is primarily an internal tool, it has a feature to password protect and release files online. This would allow potential customers to pick up sales proposals or upload files in return.

What Is an FTP Account?In Feburary 2016 13,
In Feburary 2016 13,
FTP stands for file transfer protocol. Accessing an FTP server requires a user name, host name and password. Different types of FTP servers can be accessed, including an SFTP server, FTP with TLS/SSL and FTP with GSSAPI.
Domains
Many websites offer domains for sale, ranging in price from $3 to several thousand dollars depending on the size of server you need. The price of a personal website will be $10 to $15. You can pay to purchase a domain name, or you can rent a domain.
FTP servers
Domains can be accessed through software, such as Fetch or Cyberduck. Once you've purchased a domain name through a site such as Godaddy.com, you will receive a host name, which is usually the name of the domain you purchased (johndoe.com). You will also receive a user name (johndoe@godaddy.com).
Sign in
You are ready to log into an FTP server once you have your host name, user name and password. FTP servers offer shortcuts in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Clicking 'Create Shortcut' will save all your information whenever you log in to your FTP server.
Capabilities
FTP accounts allow you to add information to a personal or business website. Personal websites can be made using software such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Flash.

How to Configure Stunnel WindowsIn Feburary 2016 02,
In Feburary 2016 02,
Install Stunnel. Download the Windows binary file from Stunnel.org. Double-click on the executable 'stunnel-4.34-installer.exe' and accept the default values for installing Stunnel on your computer.
Copy a valid SSL public certificate to the directory 'C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel.' To make things more trouble-free, combine the public key and private key certificates into one .PEM file.
Modify the Stunnel configuration file. Open the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.conf' using a text editor such as Notepad. Modify the file to include the line 'cert = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\
,' where
is the name of your certificate file. Modify the file to specify both the incoming (secure) port and the outgoing (insecure) ports. Label this section in brackets for clarity's sake. An example configuration looks like this:[https]accept = 443connect = 8080This configuration tells Stunnel to accept incoming connections on port 443 secured using the public key SSL certificate and redirect those connections to port 8080 on the local server without security.(See reference 1.)
Configure Stunnel to start automatically. Navigate to the Start menu, 'stunnel' folder and click on 'Service Install.' Stunnel will configure a Windows service called 'stunnel' to start automatically when the computer boots.
