📎 AI Summary:
The original poster inquires about hosting multiple blogs and domains on their Windows 8 machine without using IIS, as their shared hosting is unreliable. A second respondent dismisses the idea, suggesting it's not worth considering. The third advise recommends using a dedicated server OS or Linux for hosting, along with security measures like a WAF, instead of Windows 8. Overall, the thread reflects skepticism about running multiple domains directly on Windows 8 without IIS.

Hi

I have a server running windows 8 and I've installed appserv on it (i cant uninstall app serve as there an application that i need to keep running using appserv)

also, i have a couple of blogs that i hosted on shared hosting company (hawk host) but the problem is their server is keep getting down..
I'm thinking maybe i can also use my windows 8 to host my blog instead, i gather information on internet but most of them need us to install IIS manager which i tried to avoid

so i want my windows 8 to host domain and blog (more than one domain) without IIS , can anyone help me and is this doable?

Thank you

Well you would need some form of web server to host sites, so IIS or some other web server. I would not run it on Windows 8 but instead a Windows server OS or Linux. You'd also want some form a WAF to protect it at the minimum.

It is not worth even discussing, to be honest with you.
