You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026. Your current IP address is 3.236.198.232.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Microsoft Personal Web Server''' ('''PWS''') is a scaled-down [[web server]] software for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] [[operating systems]]. It has fewer features than [[Internet Information Services|Microsoft's Internet Information Services]] (IIS) and its functions have been superseded by IIS and [[Visual Studio]]. Microsoft officially supports PWS on [[Windows 95]]-[[Windows 98|98]], [[Windows 98 SE]], and [[Windows NT 4.0]]. Prior to the release of [[Windows 2000]], PWS was available as a free download as well as included on the Windows distribution CDs. PWS 4 was the last version and it can be found on the Windows 98 CD and the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack.<ref>((cite web |url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-basic-6/aa227267(v=vs.60) |title=How to set up PWS on Your Machine |date=12 July 2006 |access-date=May 5, 2020 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200504121816/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-basic-6/aa227267(v=vs.60) |archive-date=May 4, 2020))</ref>

Personal Web Server was originally created by [[Vermeer Technologies]], the same company which created [[Microsoft FrontPage]],<ref>[http://www.microsoftbob.com/post/History-of-the-FrontPage-Personal-Web-Server.aspx History of the FrontPage Personal Web Server]</ref> before they were acquired by Microsoft. It was installed by FrontPage versions 1.1 to 98 as well.

NT Workstation 4.0 shipped with '''Peer Web Services''', which was based on IIS 2.0 and 3.0. With IIS 4.0, this was renamed Personal Web Server to be consistent with the name used in 95/98.

Since Windows 2000, PWS was renamed the same IIS name used in server versions of Windows as a standard Windows component. [[Windows ME]] and [[Windows XP|Windows XP Home Edition]] support neither PWS nor IIS, although PWS can be installed on Windows ME. In other editions of Windows XP, [[Internet Information Services|IIS]] is included as standard.

Before [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] 2005, PWS was useful in developing [[web application]]s on the [[localhost]] before deploying to a production web server. The IDE of Visual Studio 2005 (and later versions) now contains a built-in lightweight web server for such development purposes.

[[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]], [[SMTP]], [[HTTP]] and the usual web languages such as [[PHP]] and [[Perl]] are supported by PWS. It also supports basic CGI ([[Common Gateway Interface]]) conventions and a subset of [[Active Server Pages|Classic ASP]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297943 |title=Getting Started with Active Server Pages |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041205214114/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297943 |archive-date=December 5, 2004))</ref> Using these technologies, web applications running on PWS are capable of performing and interpreting database queries and results.

Microsoft also produced a version of Personal Web Server for the Macintosh based on code acquired in its acquisition of ResNova Software in November 1996.<ref>((cite web |url=https://news.microsoft.com/1996/11/20/microsoft-acquires-leading-macintosh-web-server-technology/ |title=Microsoft Acquires Leading Macintosh Web Server Technology |date=November 20, 1996 |access-date=May 4, 2020))</ref>
