WebServUSB's portability makes it easy to move to any PC with a USB port and Intranet/Internet connection. All of the functions, content, and programming remain in  the USB plug and will transfer to whatever PC it is plugged into. For portable Internet operation, a Dynamic DNS service such as www.no-ip.com can be used to allow WebServUSB to have a portable domain name reachable at whatever PC its plugged into. The rugged aluminum case protect it against static discharge, cosmic rays (known to erase flash memory), dust, dirt, and mechanical shock.

WebServUSB can serve one web site or even hundreds! Plus its user database allows both single user and group management of user accounts for HTTP and FTP services. For added security, the user accounts created in WebServUSB have no connection to the user accounts in the Windows based PC which its plugged into via a USB port. Thus even if an account is compromised, the intruder can go no further than the internal structure of WebServUSB! Hackers are left "dangling" out on the USB port with no access to the operating system!
