IIS and sql server on same server 1

[Rousseau10]

would this slow sql server down too much to also run IIS on same server? what if the website uses sql server, can the sql server be on another machine apart from the IIS?

thanks in advance

You can run IIS and SQL Server on the same machine, yes. However, for larger sites, and if you have the available resources, it is generally advisable to run a dedicated database server and a separate web server.

HI,
using IIS and SQL Server on a same machine can easeup administration considerably also, configuring IIS COM+ applications that accesses named instance of sqlserver is relatively easy and effective.
