Is there a better way to set it up?
I presume you have already told your clients sysadmin this, and that he: - thinks they won't break - thinks changing is easy Insist on decent testing before moving to production, that will show if things break or not. If they break, make sure you have a quote for fixing the broken parts ready. If I had to set it up, I would keep websites on 1 server and databases on another one, unless there are pressing requirements/circumstances that you have not described. Depending on load email would probably go on the database server, with some very tight access control lists on the firewall/router for that server.
