Creating a Remote <strong>StoreFront</strong> Web or Adding<br />
<strong>StoreFront</strong> to a Remote Web<br />
Developing <strong>StoreFront</strong> remotely on a production server is the most highly recommended<br />
method for development. If you choose to develop locally, then publish the site to a production<br />
server, you will need to reconfigure the site to run in the new environment. However, when<br />
developing on the production server itself, you only need to configure the site once. You will<br />
also avoid problems that may be caused by the lack of functionality provided by Microsoft<br />
Personal Web Server.<br />
The next few sections describe the tasks that are involved in creating a remote <strong>StoreFront</strong><br />
web.<br />
CHOOSING A HOST<br />
The first step that you will take when creating a web or publishing a web is choosing a host. A<br />
responsive and professional host is vital to the smooth operation of your <strong>StoreFront</strong> web.<br />
<strong>StoreFront</strong> is designed to run on any NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 server running IIS 4.0 or <strong>5.0</strong>.<br />
Payment Processing Services (page 78) and Mail Services (page 60) may require the installation<br />
of additional software. Your host can find a list of server requirements under System<br />
Requirements, page 8.<br />
A list of recommended hosts who have experience supporting <strong>StoreFront</strong> can be found at the<br />
<strong>StoreFront</strong> Web Host Partners page on www.<strong>StoreFront</strong>.net.<br />
ADDING STOREFRONT TO A REMOTE WEB USING THE IMPORT WIZARD<br />
If you have a web that is live and hosted on a remote server, you can add <strong>StoreFront</strong> files to it<br />
by using the Import Wizard function of the Store Creator. This method can be used to add<br />
<strong>StoreFront</strong> to a new, empty web, or to add <strong>StoreFront</strong> files to an existing web site that you<br />
want to add e-commerce capabilities to. Follow the instructions below to <strong>StoreFront</strong>-enable a<br />
remote web.<br />

Folder Name field.<br />
