[OpenIndiana-discuss] What would the steps be needed to host a website on OpenIndiana?

[Mike Carroll]

That is a very true statement that it ranges from simple to complex. I am just really looking for a static site setup to host a personal site with a domain that I purchased. Just HTML and CSS, and not much more than that-so security is essential but with little attack surface.

Given that to host a website could mean anything from a basic flat HTML
server (eg Apache, nginx etc) through to a whole complex CMS, that's a
pretty big question!

You don't need to host a DNS server to host a website. Same with email.
You might *want* to, but you don't *have* to.

OI, like every UNIX variant since the 1980's, has a built in DNS server
(BIND), an email server (Sendmail or Postfix), mail clients (mailx),
bundled up IMAP and POP servers (cyrus, dovecot), a web server (apache)
and so on.  If you want to use PHP (urgh ...) or some other language to
make smarts, they're bundled up too.
