i have a website that i use it on "LAN" how many users can access this website with MySql database hosted on phpmyadmin ( xampp ) what is the minimum resources for the server i need. is windows 7 for the server OK for hosting the website or windows server will be better and tell me why please. Thanks in advance.
Here are my answers based on your minimum informations.
How many user can access? = depends on your apps and your server resources. Knowing that it's only on LAN then bandwidth will not be a big issue.
Minimum resources = depends on much resources your apps need and how many client that you will serve, concurrent or not.
Server version is always better to be a server (windows server, ubuntu server, etc)because they provide better resources management and better security.
