A company’s website is their identity. For some time now our company has been able to operate with a website hosted offsite by a third-party company. It alleviates the need for dedicated equipment to purchase and maintain but it also causes us to not have control over our website and can lead to frequent downtime.
With our steady growth and increased website needs now might be a good time to make the switch to operating our website in-house. There are a few items that we need in order to host our own website. The first part is the hardware. We are already operating a variety of servers that perform different tasks but we will need to purchase a new dedicated server to manage the website and all of the associated files.
The next item is the address which we already have purchased and use with our current web hosting company. A website address is actually a series of numbers called an IP address, something like 23.1.48.170. It would be difficult to communicate those numerical addresses so we use a system called the Domain Name System or DNS to simplify the process. “Before the client communicates with

Although there are an almost infinite amount of topics to consider when it comes to network security there are a couple relevant issues that should be discussed. Since we expect to operate several domains we need to be certain that they are protected. One of the most common network attacks is an intruder gaining access to one domain and then being able to exploit that intrusion by moving to another domain on the same system. An example would be a hacker that gains access to the sever that hosts our website available on the general public internet using that access to then gain access to one of our private company domains. Active Directory helps alleviate some of the potential danger by providing authentication to ensure only authorized users are allowed
The webserver will be placed in a protected area, called a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), outside the corporate network. The DMZ will be protected by a hardened firewall server called a Bastion server. The Bastion server’s services are limited and the configuration is changed to make the server
Active directory is the backbone of Windows Server 2012 and fundamental technology in almost every business / enterprise. ADDS is the server services for security and permission in Windows environment. As we’re planning to set up three sites, create user accounts and security policies for those computers, we will need to use Active Directory.

...dors, partners, customers, or other businesses. An extranet can be viewed as part of company’s Intranet that is extended to users outside the company. This is almost the same as an intranet, when the intranet is protected with a password, and accessible from the outside, then it becomes an extranet.
DNS is used to provide a mapping between the websites name and their respective IP addresses. DNS caching is a mechanism to cache this Website name–IP address mapping on the DNS server for some amount of time. When number of users in the office or universities access same websites again and again then DNS caching is used to improve the performance of the system as DNS server doesn’t need to do all hierarchical searching using root name servers and TLD name servers for each and every user request. Network will be too overloaded if we don’t use DNS caching as DNS server needs to do number of DNS queries in order to find one IP address. DNS caching stores the IP addresses of frequently used websites in the organization.

The subject matter of this paper is the integration of single sign-on based web architecture in place of the current design that provides multiple sites for company employees. Currently, employees wishing to access company related information are required to access approximately eight different websites and maintain records for different user names and passwords for each site. This paper will outline the design specifics that will be necessary for full integration and user functionality of the new web-based portal.
Because mwi.com lives in a hosted environment, the corporate website frequently appears offline to our customers and employees alike. Server resources within the shared environment are not always available for the mwi.com website but for other websites living within the shared environment. Making the move to bring the website home and host it on a Server 2012 server, Micro Widgets, Incorporated can take advantage of the fact that “Windows Server 2012 offers a high-density, highly scalable environment that can be modified to perform at the optimum level based on the needs of the business” (Secura, 2013). Once moved, mwi.com will live in an environment where server resources will exist solely to support mwi.com.
