STARTING UP SERVER AGAIN
I hope to start using my server again for my company and having a couple of websites installed on it.
One is simple text info with contact page. Another would be selling few products to select service industry.
Can it be done and and what would be the best software for basic costs? Do I need SQL
Right now all I have SBS 2003.

If you have a Windows server and you plan on exposing it to external internet users, you can use IIS which is already included with Windows. No additional cost involved. In regards to SQL, or any other Database application, you only need that component
if you plan on providing your web users with dynamic content or plan on collecting information from the user to store. It sounds like based on your description above, the contact page will probably be deployed using a simple HTML page, but
the other selling products would most likely require a database backend for processing orders unless you out-source that component.
In reality, if you do not have alot of experience setting this type of infrastructure up, you may consider hosting your website with a company that specializes in this. You can simply do a search on the internet for web hosting and/or providers that
offer packaged website templates that include shopping carts and other related components.
You will need to do some more research on this topic. It is hard to advise you without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish and your business requirements.Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.
