ESP8266 AT commands to setup a server
Try these in sequence:

AT+RST

AT+CWJAP="SSID","password"

AT+CIFSR

AT+CWMODE=1

AT+CIPMUX=1

AT+CIPSERVER=1,80

Wait for OK after every command.

Access the IP assigned to ESP8266 by command AT+CIFSR in chrome/IE, it should return the version of chrome and lot of information.

Then send:
AT+CIPSEND=0,&lt;string len&gt;
replace string len by the length of data you want to send.

For example &lt;html&gt;&lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/html&gt;
it should be
AT+CIPSEND=0,24
then it should return with
&gt; in the monitor
then send the data &lt;html&gt;&lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/html&gt;.

All of these commands can be executed in Arduino Serial Monitor, I assume you are using Arduino as USB-to-TTL Converter.
