Make an icon i.e. .ico file, place it in the same folder on your server as your index.html file (i.e. the file that gets loaded first). :) Its that simple.

You can also have a look at *www.favicon.com/

that works with apache only ..
not with IIS
and in apache too .. you need to name it "favicon.ico"
(correct me if im wrong)

better still to avoid pitfalls use this:

Code:
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="*domain.tld/path/iconname.ico">

In this way you need not worry about web servers or filename disparities.

No its not necessary to name the file as favicon.ico. Just the extension needs to be .ico

But the safest way is what Tuxian suggested.
