Hi everyone,
We are considering building a web host for our retail store. We are putting the finishing touches on having a database driven website built but the old linux hosting is not cutting it. We currently pay for outside hosting but I think I want to try an host it in house. We are currently hosting our office Exchange server, file server, active directory and quickbooks enterprise access on a machine with desktop level components but i am looking to add another box with solid performance which will handle the .net and sql and possibly the exchange server and leave the current box for file server, active directory duties.
To make a long story short should I build a big, serious dual processor machine or should i stick with a beefed up desktop machine? The dual processor options cost about three times more than the desktop option so I want to try and be cost effective.
