IIS 8.0 Express
What is IIS Express?
IIS 8.0 Express enhances your ability to develop and test web applications on Windows by combining the power of IIS 8.0 with the convenience of a lightweight web server like the ASP.NET Development Server (also known as Cassini). IIS Express 8.0 is included with Microsoft WebMatrix, an integrated suite of tools designed to make developing web applications on Windows simple and seamless. IIS 8.0 Express can also be used with Microsoft Visual Studio as a powerful alternative to Cassini.
