If you configure it well, even more so :) And it wont make your server
unusable under relatively small loads.

I too highly recommend using PHP/Apache/MySQL it is a proven solution
known to work incredibly well (even under very high loads of huge sites
:D)
Should you wish to continue using IIS/ASP, then I highly recommend that
you get the MyODBC drivers from mysql and use those directly from ASP
(don't know whether FrontPage does that for you, but it can be done, I
do it regularly)
:)
I must forewarn you that unless you are using Win2K Server or better (or
should I say more expensive), your IIS is crippled (by Microsoft) to
support only 10 connections, or pay up (>$800)!
If these suggestions make you uncomfortable, better stick to a Web
Hosting company :\.
