  <p>I looked at Microsoft's comparison chart:</p>

  <p>I would be using SQL Express with a small to mid-sized web site.  I don't believe I would exceed the 4GB database size limit.  Is SQL Express typically supported in shared hosting environments?  Is there something I'm missing that would make SQL Express an unreasonable choice?</p>
