            Abstract : 
The greatest benefit of Webit is without a doubt that it enables a standard connection to non-PC devices using the Internet. Since the use of Webit opens a new method for maintaining and supervising non-PC devices, it has become a helpful tool for users to control and manage devices remotely. Webit actualizes the connection between non-PC devices and Internet, thus all kinds of devices around us may be controlled and accessed over the Internet through a standard Web browser. In this paper, we introduce the reasons that why provide Internet connectivity for non-PC devices. We present the architecture of Webit that can support Internet connectivity for non-PC devices. We also present how to design and implement it and finally compare the results of Webit´s performance and other similar Internet servers.
