WHS2011 vs Server 2012

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hello

I have on my server (at home), Windows home server 2011. I was wondering if I should upgrade the os to windows server 2012. I am a student so i can get 2012 for free. I was wondering if there were any pros or cons to upgrading.

will i be able to use my xxx.homeserver.net domain with 2012?
Can i add computers for free or do I have to pay?

These are just some of the questions i have.

thanks,

Ninja
