I'll be on my own dedicated environment using a single server (2 cpu) and sharing it with sql server 2005 statndard. Within the next year, i'll have up to 200 sites on the server. I can always upgrade to enterprise then but for right now I can only afford standard. Will the administrator allow me to serve up that many sites (200) until I upgrade?
Yes it will.
However we cannot reasonably answer this. It is dependant on the number of requests your server will process, and how well the code is written, and how well your database is optimised. These are factors that will govern the performance of the server.
You really wont be able to tell until you start approaching a large number and see how it all evolves.
IIS/Apache and SQL and CF will allow you to add 200+ sites on the server, it wont be a problem.
Either version will handle the 200 sites. and if you get to the point where your performance starts to degrade becuase the traffic is too much for 1 server to handle, the first thing you should do is move your sql server databases to a separate server. Having coldfusion and sql server running on the same machine will not perform well under heavy traffic conditions because they will both want to be using large amounts of your CPU at the same time.

Remember though that this is all about shared hosting environments and these are your low-end, low-performance environments with say 100-200 sites (or more) per server where the enterprise features are not important( exchange etc).
