Hi SemSem,

now im turning to windows server 2003 and iam want to know which version
to
choose

1-enterprise
2-web
3-standard

Which version you need depends on your application and the capacity that you
plan for it. If your web application is simple and runs with dozens of users
instead hundreds or thousands, then the Web Edition might be enough. It is
the cheapest alternative, but only permits you to install a database on the
server which is used only by your web application.

If your application needs other functions, or need to communicate with other
servers/applications in your network, then Standard is probably your best
choice. Finally, choose Enterprise if your application is big, and requires
load balancing, clustering, fail over, etc.

To further analyze your requirements, we would need more information about
your application and your needs. See this link for information about the Web
Edition, which I feel might be your best bet:

Hope this helps.
