The decision to switch web servers, regardless if it is a personal or business decision or simply an economic one, requires that the person or organization doing the switching understand what it is that he or she wants to accomplish as a result of the switch. Even when the server set-up is related to something as seemingly frivolous as a fantasy football league, the fact remains that user requirements must be appropriately matched with server capabilities.
