There are a couple of options reguarding websites and SBS:
1) If the website has to run from the SBS server, I would consider
installing a load balancer hardware at the router point for port 80/443
needs. SBS is considered an all-in-one for SMBs, however it does have it
limitations on just how widely usable to can go.
2) If you can run the website elsewhere, consider either another W2K2003
server or even a simple Linux server on the same network (if its viable). If
you are using the premium version of SBS and have the SQL server portion
being utilized, you can host the website on a seperate box then just use an
ODBC connection to the SBS box for querying/retrieving data as needed.
