Terry, thank you very much for taking the time to explain the
differences.
I can see that Web Server 2003 is clearly the better choice IF I was
hosting "real" web applications. Unfortunately for me, and although I
spent over 20,000 hours on my totally freakin awesome web app
(www.OrderingMadeEasy.Com) I failed and so I have no users nor
clients...nada zilch none.....
So I need to have my Order Taking app available in the unlikely event
that someone would actually want to use it...and also to display my
other 10 registered domains and applications
(www.DublinFriendMaker.Com, wwwTimesheet.Com, and many others, see
www.1369.com or
www.BobSweeney.Net).
I also show my programs to showcase my work and sell my consulting
services....but getting over 10 hits per second is a dream that
probably won't come true, although I'm still trying.
Can you comment on the above, I appreciate your insight and knowledge.
Thanks very much,
Bob Sweeney
