    just create a 16x16 image in any of your favorite paint programs, save it as favicon.ico and upload it to your root directory on your server.
    Easy isn't it :D

    create it in image editor (e.g. paintbrush)
    save it as 16x16 picture in bmp format under name favicon.ico
    upload it to your hosting directory
    add following line <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://domainname.tld/favicon.ico"> between <head> and </head> in all websites where you would like to show it
    upload the new websites

    that is it!
    :)
