You license Microsoft SQL Server using the Per-Processor
model. No CALs required.
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/processor.asp
For low storage size, high read volume, low write volume
(i.e. a web server), RAID 1 is superior, with two very fast
but not necessarily large disks, and a two channel hardware
RAID controller with a big cache.
Only if storage space becomes an issue should you want
to consider RAID 5 or RAID 10. (RAID 10 is a RAID 1
mirror of a RAID 0 strip set, works with 4,6,8,10...(etc)
drives.) I'd recommend RAID 10 for 4 or 6 disks only.
After that it becomes too wasteful and less fault tolerant,
move to RAID 5.

Subject: MS SQL licensing
Hello,
What kind of MS SQL server licence do I need if I want to offer MS SQL
database with my hosting plans? Do I just buy a Standard Edition licence
5CAL of do I need to have a licence for each web site that is using it?
Thank you very much. Any info will be much appreciated.
