In my opinion, for a low volume, non-critical web-server the choice between
NT and Unix comes down to two factors, cost and experience:
1. If you have resources available to you that make one cheaper than the
other (e.g., an existing machine that has sufficient space and cycles on
it to also run a web server), you are probably better off choosing that
one.
2. Which OS do you have the most experience with? They both take
considerable experience to do a good job of administering (no flames
please). If you know a lot more about one than the other, you are
probably better off choosing that one.
You could have special needs for a web site that would incline your choice
more one way than the other but it did not sound like that from the post.
