I am setting up a web site that has to run IIS to work with the e-commerce software that I purchased. I know that on NT workstation they limited the number of network connections to the machine. What I do not know is if there are any limitations that I need to know about if I were to try running a IIS 5.0 server on 2000 Professional. It does come with it. I am only going to be running a small site with less than 10 connections at a time. Most the time there is only one or 2 and the highest I have accually seen is 6 at once, but I am hopeing for higher levels of traffic. If anyone can tell me for sure if there are or aren't any limitations or if there is a significant performance increase if I went with server that would be great.

Windows 2000 Professional is designed for personal use or for small departmental use (for example to share some project ideas).
Any serious web hosting should be done on the server.

If I am not mistaken, the limit for IIS5 on W2k Pro is the same as for NT 4.0 WS which is 10 concurrent connections.
