Windows 2003 Web & Standard
Feb 18, 2008is there any huge difference between the two?
I'm primarily going to use the server for gaming.
After researching, the only thing I saw was that Web only supports up to 2GB of ram.

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and i'm probably being a little lazy, but the google searches i did didn't really help.
As I need to have windows hosting, apart from the price, is there any difference between setting up the server with windows 2003 standard edition and web edition?
I want to run MS SQL and My sql databases, run asp, .Net 2 and php on the server.
I'd also want to connect with RDP which i'm assuming is fine.
Most of the searches seem to talk about the fact that you can't set up active directory,or making it a domain controller but not much else.
Is the R2 just a version with all the upgrades or service packs already updated?
In other words can I use the older copy and just pull the upgrades from micosoft.
Im trying to setup FTP on Windows 2003 Standard. Multiple people will need access, the problem Im having is how do I make it to where certain ftp accounts only have access to certain folders and certain ftp accounts have access to the whole root directory of that folder?
For instance under websitefolder you have a folder called bobsfolder. I want bob to login and just be "jailed" to bobsfolder, but when websitefolderadmin logs in they have access to the root of websitefolder and all its subfolders.
I would like to know if Windows 2003 standard support's windows media encoder?

- 8 cpu
- 16gb RAM
- gbits LAN
- 1 TB of RAID-5 storage bay
The server will be splitted in two server (it's actually a balde running ESX and two guests).
My question is:
- I am better to setup 64 bits or better run the old and stable 32 bits?
I consider this question because:
- I might install Exchange 2007
- I might upgrade to Windows 2008
Out of this, is there known problem/issue with 64 bits Windows 2003 OS?
I am going to buy my own server and colocate this at a data center. This server is going to only host one website with Mysql as backend database. I notice there are 3 different Windows 2003 server, Web, Standard and Enterprise. I am leaning toward the Standard version. Can I use Window 2003 Standard Edition to run my the web server?

I've got MSSQL 2005 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64. The server has 12GB RAM.
Now, I've been trying to find some way to monitor how much RAM MSSQL takes up, but found two conflicting things.
One source says that MSSQL 2005 Enterprise can only use up to 4GB RAM on Windows Standard R2 x64. Another says Microsoft changed this to 32GB for Windows Standard R2 x64 only (i.e. not x86).
Could anyone confirm either of these? I'd find out myself if I knew how I could see how much it's using (it only shows 90mb in taskmanager).
how to change the default or the master datetime format for Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition.
My problem is as such.
- Have installed Coldfusion 5.0 on a Windows 2003 Server and have configured the part on the Web service extensions.
- One of the coldfusion program/application that is needed to be migrated from another server which is running Windows 2000.
- Encountered problem such as the datetime that is passed to the application when clients view on their workstations is different.
- My program take in dd/MM/yyyy but however it seems like the server is always default to M/d/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy.
So, how can i change the default setting so that it will apply to the user account IUSR or across all accounts that is used on the server?
What setup would be right (as far as paging file goes) for running game servers on a dedicated box.
Specs
core2duo 2ghz
2 GB RAM
300Gb HD
Windows Server 2003 Standard
Right now it says it has 1512 MB allocated for the paging file. Just seems to me that programs would run better with a smaller paging file.
This is my first Windows server i have always used unix for a dedicated box so i dont have a clue how these settings such as page file affects a server.
I see most of the providers offering Windows 2003 STD license $20-$30 per month. I wonder how is that done, do they buy licenses in bulk and then lease them monthly basis or there is an agreement with Microsoft. I have a few linux boxes colocated and would like to procure Windows licenses on my own. Also how to go for licenses for VPS server?

I noticed MS has lifted some of the restriction concerning the Web Server edition, it's like half the price of Standard.
I'm mainly going to be hosting a couple of separate web sites, run ASP.Net and PHP, along with some database servers (currently considering SQL Server Express and MySQL).
Email server is being considered, though our load isn't too great, it's just for a couple of friends and myself. We're also intending to run game servers off it (Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty series, etc.) on occasions.
Would the Web Server edition suffice for these? Or is it still technically limited/has license restrictions, and I will need at least the standard edition?
I may also intend to serve streaming windows Media files.
What is the real difference between Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server and Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition?
Why is the SBS cheaper?
I was actually curious about this since Windows 2008 version came out.

Any LIMITS using MailEnable regarding hosting. How many domains (or maximum users) can serve?

I wait your answerds.
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box?
Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?
I'm making a reasonably uninformed comparison here. Since Windows Vista is noted to be more resource intensive and slower than Win XP, are we right in assuming that Windows 2008 is slower than Windows 2003?
For instance, with two boxes with an identical hardware setup but the two different server OSes, will the same application like, say MySQL run slower on the Win 2008 machine?
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway?
Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp.
I think windows xp license is cheaper.
I am not using IIS and the built FTP server. Is ther other recommended FTP server to use in a windows 2008 dedicated server?

I have setup ras, and letting me to login to the server using PPTP, but its not allowing me to route the Internet using the connection there.
I m having One NIC card, and as far i know its possible to route public network too.
I was contacted by a small company manager who want to setup an online common work place for his employees.
He needs a Windows server with the possibility for up to 10 users to connect remotly and share files and software.
Do you think that Windows 2003 is compulsory for such basic needs? I want to go with Windows XP because it is less expensive.
on the server I have ASP access sites and ASP with SQL server sites.
When I load the sites they are fast, but then after a random period of time, I click a link but the page just sits there saying waiting for host, I can refresh but no difference, then all of a sudden the site will start working again and be fast until the next time.
Does anyone know why the site can be fast then sort of just hang for a while and if so, any suggestions on fixing this would be brilliant.
Can I configure windows 2003 to use multiple IPs?? Is it necessary to have a separate ethernet connection for each IP? Loopback, does it help? What about Linux?

View 9 Replies View Relatedi wanted to buy a dedicated server and when i had questions about 2003 web, i talked to hivelocity live support and i think it was dave who told me that Windows 2003 web has a restriction for mysql which was 512 KB. I myself is planning to own a gameserver that uses java and mysql and i know for sure uses much much more space than 512 KB. Is this true that 2003 restricts the size of your DB and when your DB reaches 512 kb, it can no longer be used? Also, is the windows 2008 web licensing fee the same as windows 2003 web?
