need to install a web server. if u are running windows, it may already be installed. else u can download. windows web server is called IIS (Internet Information Services).

or can install Apache, Tomcat or any other web server. I'd recommend iis or apache though.

if running windows, look to see if there is a directory on your C: drive called inetpub. if it's there, u already have iis installed. if not can add it by going to add/remove programs and add/remove windows components.

alternatively u can download Apache and install. For a beginner, iis is likely easier to configure, but both have their strengths and both are fine.
