    Hi I was looking into getting a windows server on ebay, but I'm not sure which version os windows server has all the features. Is it Datacenter, Enterprise, etc. I would like to have all the features of these OS's into one. I am also looking into hosting on my small bussiness network (Only 10 computers) and I am looking into hosting a website. Which would be best? I want the best of the best!

    Please see this link for a comparison of the different editions of Windows 2003.

    These editions are best suited for different environments. Enterprise edition for example supports clustering, which provides server redundancy. You need at least two machines of near identical hardware to implement this; and active node and a passive node that will become active should the first server suffer a failure. This also provides backup software for multiple domain companies, which is far more than you need, unless you foresee HUGE expansion for your company.

    Datacentre edition is primarily for database applications, which again is probably too much for a 10 user company.

    I administer a company of about the same number of users, and they get by just fine with Small Business Server. It is the most versatile and cost effective edition for their needs.
