IIS: Internet Information Services. This is typically referred to as your
web server, although it can also host other web services, such as SMTP and
NNTP.

Disc-based web: A web site that is not hosted on a web server, accessed via
the FILE protocol.

Server Web: A web site that is hosted on a web server, accessed via HTTP.

IIS is a server program.

If you create your web in IIS you have a server based web.

If you create your web in the My Webs folder in My Documents it is then a disk based web.

FrontPage will normally create and save a web in the My Webs folder unless directed otherwise.
