I have windows 2000 professional and am wondering if this
will enable me to host a site server just to store
webpages on? About 20 or so under one domain... With
Windows XP it only enables you to have 10 people looking
at a time at your webpages. I would like to expand my
business and get a few more clients. Will Windows 2000
Professional let me have more then 10 people looking at
once or is this also set with this operating system?

Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows XP Professional only support 10
concurrent HTTP connections (about 5 clients, since each client uses 2
connections by default under HTTP v1.1)

You will need a server version to use IIS, and support more concurrent
connections (eg Windows 2000 Server, or Windows 2003 Server). The 2003
Server family has a special "webserver" edition, which is quite cheap, and
designed to be sold into the webserver market.

Cheers
Ken

W2K Pro is not designed to support production web sites, it is really
only intended for development work.
