What would be the difference between the two from the web hosting point of view,

Hosts side as well as clients side,

Is it worth getting a winnt server upgraded to Win2k?

I would say a move to W2K would be a smart one. W2K and IIS 5 are much more stable than NT and IIS 4. IIS 5 handles memory more efficently, is faster and easier to administer than IIS 4.0, includes ASP 3.0 and many more things.

I would recommend (if at all possible) that you migrate over to a new server w/ W2K instead of upgrading your NT box. I have yet to see a smooth transition in a direct upgrade.

Hope that helps,

As I know win2k has some new administrative level features.So it will help u to manage your server properly.

Win2k is far more stable and has better perfomance as far as serving ASP pages go

cheers!

If you have tons of website, the ability to sort IIS by web-name is enough reason to switch to Win2K :stickout

Also, remember Win2k DNS, the ability to add more IP without reboot, better NTFS permissions, and better hardware compatibility are even more reason to switch to win2k.

I just hate the numerous number of reboots using NT4
