My hosting company offers me web edition by default. &nbsp;Standard edition is quite a bit extra and I am wondering what the difference is. &nbsp;As far as I can tell the only difference is that I can't install SQL Server - which I don't use on this server anyway.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help, I was unsure if Imail would work with the Web Edition, I think that all the other components that I have installed will work OK.

We are currently looking at upgrading our Windows 2000 web server to 2003. &nbsp;We have IMAIL installed as our email server - my question will I be able to install this on the Web edition of Win Server 2003 or will I need the standard edition?<br />
<br />
Has anyone got experience with IMAIL on the Web Edition?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
