How to Host a Website with the Synology Server
The Synology Server has a built-in Apache Web Engine which can be used to host web pages. This should not be confused with building or coding web pages; users are still required to write their own web page code, if they wish to use this function. The Web Station is great for light weight oriented work, such as a personal web sites, or for a great way for small offices to disseminate information among it's employees.
Along with the Apache Engine, the Synology Server also has MySQL and PHP capabilities which can be used for dynamic web site content creation, such as Bulletin Boards, Blogs, or Wiki Sites.
