Windows 98 comes with Personal Web Server (PWS). You will need your 98 CD to install it. Go to this site for more info:

BTW, this should have been put in the Windows 95/98 support forum, but since it's here, it's here! (On second thought, were you wanting to put Server 2003 on your machine?)

I think misunderstand what all window 2003 can do. All you need is a faster computer and either XP pro using IIS to serve pages or Apache or Xitami or some other web server. Actually you can run Xitami now for small hit setups.

The minimum system requirements for XP are 233 MHz processor and 128 MB RAM (which is painfully slow to run under, even with nothing but windows running). I think that PWS, Apache, or Xitami will all work, but you're fine running 98. Actually, you might even get performance gains if you want to take a leap and jump into linux...

You could run BeOS on something like that.
