I am looking to create a new server at a small web hosting business. We currently run a windows 2003 standard server for our hosting packages that are windows based. I am going to build a new machine and just wanted input on which version of 2008 would be best for hosting. 

Which version of Windows 2008 is best for a web hosting platform?

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
