Using IIS express to host a low volume web site -


i've been using iis express host test web site couple of months using on netbook. i've assigned domain name ip of netbook. don't use netbook other iis express. seems me might option hosting personal web site. have web site on shared hosted environment , iis express 1 lot faster. want know is, downsides of hosting web site iis express? don't think there licensing issues. think there may security issues commercial web sites. main problem have found windows periodically reboots after update - have solved problem running batch file start iis express @ start up. consensus?

iis express meant used local development server. not adviced use externally facing sites of following reasons...

1.iis express runs current logged on user. not idea run externally accessible sites. if @ want run site, make sure created low privilege account , run site in account.

2.sites hosted in iis express slow because default failed request tracing , console tracing enabled (failed request tracing can disabled editing applicationhost.config file)

3.kernel mode caching not supported

4.there no ui configure iis express

(in above first issue serious security issue)
