Microsoft recently announced a new edition of Windows Server, aimed at customers providing web hosting and web applications. For several years there has been Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, which is a crippled version of Windows Server with a lower price tag for offering simple web server functions. Realizing that this was not a compelling offer for many web-centric companies considering a Microsoft hosting platform, they have created Windows Server 2003 Web Edition Enhanced.

The big changes in Web Edition Enhanced over the plain old Web Edition are higher limits on physical resources and the capability to install SQL Server. Web Edition allows a maximum of 2 CPUs while Enhanced ups that to 4, as well as increasing the max RAM from 2GB in Web Edition to 4GB in Enhanced. Keeping with a web-server focus, Enhanced cannot be an Active Directory controller or print server.

As a Microsoft Hosting Partner, we are now offering Server 2003 Web Edition Enhanced. Feel free to contact us for info.
