title: Using IIS express to host a low volume web site
body: <p>I've been using IIS express to host a test web site for a couple of months using an always on netbook. I've assigned a domain name to the IP of the netbook. I don't use the netbook for anything other than IIS express. It seems to me that this might be a good option for hosting a personal web site. I have another web site on a shared hosted environment and the IIS express one is a lot faster. What I want to know is, what are the downsides of hosting a web site with IIS express? I don't think there are any licensing issues. I think there may be some security issues with commercial web sites. The main problem I have found it that windows periodically reboots after an update - but I have solved that problem by running a batch file to start IIS express at start up. What is the consensus?</p>
