Hi @hamed algazaly SQL Server compact edition is for applications that run on mobile devices and desktops, SQL CE targets occasionally connected applications and applications with an embedded database. SQL Express is a free, feature-rich editions of SQL Server that is ideal for learning, developing, powering desktop, web & small server applications, and for redistribution by ISVs. Are you looking to deploy website on windows.?
