# Specify default settings for Web sites
| About installation defaults
You use the Set Installation Defaults page in the Server Administration pages to specify default settings for your server. These policies are inherited by each virtual server and subweb unless the administrator for that virtual server or subweb changes the setting on the virtual server or site administration pages. You can set default settings for:
| Usage analysis
Specify whether to automatically delete the usage analysis data after a certain period of time, and whether to process the log file data for full days only. Web site administrators can change these settings by using the Site Administration page for their Web site.
| Mail settings
Specify the SMTP mail server to use and the from and reply-to addresses to use. Server administrators can change these settings by using the Change Configuration Settings page for their virtual server. Web site administrators can also change the from and reply-to addresses by using the Site Administration page for their Web site.
| Security settings
Specify whether to log authoring actions, require Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for authoring and administration, or allow users to upload executable files. Server administrators can change these settings by using the Change Configuration Settings page for their virtual server. Note Installation defaults are not enforced. A Web site or virtual server administrator can change the settings from their defaults. Open the Server Administration page, and then click Set installation defaults. Specify the settings you want to use as defaults for Web sites on the server. Do any of the following: Specify default usage analysis options Specify mail settings Set security options Click Submit.
