If two and more computers are interconnected and able to exchange data or information then we call network. We want to increase the number of PC‟s and exchange data or information from one to another that time we need some special PC‟s are called Server. There is various type of work in the network that is why also different types of server have. For Example- DSN Server, Web Server, Mail Server, Proxy Server, FTP Server, Firewall. Each of them works differently and without them it is impossible to maintain a network. If network is connected to the Internet and we want to secure your information they must setup server using Linux Operating System. That‟s why I choose this subject of my report is “Server Installation and Configuration on ISP (Linux Platform)”. The report discussed about the purpose of the specific server using on ISP, hardware requirement for the server, choosing software and installation process of the software, step by step server configuration process and simple troubleshooting of the server.
