I've been having trouble with my NAS recently, most noticeably on my Surface, and I've assumed it was the recent Win10 update causing yet more fun-and-games with SMB1 devices.
It'll be fine, then the share drops off, or the NAS disappears from the Network list, and watching videos via my VR headset has been ... um .. difficult, with pauses, and black areas, and so on.
But ... I have no idea why, but I checked the Sky box and somehow it's using the same IP as the NAS: 192.168.0.11
Which shouldn't be possible, given they are both on the same router, albeit Sky via WiFi and NAS via CAT5. Only I can access the NAS setup page on 192.168.0.11 from a browser via wire or WiFi ... 
Find the Skybox MAC, unplug it, add a router rule to switch it to 192.168.0.99 so it's well and truly out of the way and ... everything looks like it works again, and runs smoother and faster.
Except my Amazon Fire TV stick, which is still running like a stunned slug on Mogadon moving through treacle. But it's seven years old, so I can kinda forgive that: nobody thinks about old devices when they update software these days - a new one will be here today and that should fix that anyway.
But that's very odd - how the heck did they get - and keep! - the same IP addresses? Dunno, and probably never will find out.

I used to reserve static addresses for certain devices and then everything else sat higher up.
e.g keep 192.168.1.1-10 for main PC, Nas, etc and then have the rest sit on 11 and up in the pool.

So do I - the router uses static addresses for everything I know the MAC of - which didn't include the Sky box because I forgot about it when I set up the new router a few months back.
To be honest I forgot it was connected to WiFi, so it presumably picked up the connection details from WPS when I did something else.

I had an issue were devices stopped working/ dropping / disconnecting. Couldn't for the life of me work out what was going on.
Eventually twigged that the WAP point I had put in my daughter's room was also serving up IPs, so 2 DHCP were fighting with each other and caused chaos.
It was a week before I caught on to what the hell was happening.

The obvious (pardon me):
1. Make sure the dynamic DHCP range does not overlap your static IP's.
2. Make sure they don't have the same MAC (I know, supposedly impossible).
3. Bury a dead chicken in the back yard.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

One that will let me add "Rows", edit "Columns", and that checks if I make mistakes without me having to open it in Excel, faff with it, lose half the information, ...
All the ones I've tried have been pretty crappy UWP ones that just don't work well - one of them uses CTRL+S to clear the "modified" flag instead of saving it for example ...

Not really a json editor, but Notepad++ works fine for me after installing JSON Viewer Addon. At least it does Syntax Check (ok in case of failure the response is not nice, but enough for me to find the issue) and it allows to show json in a triee view in case it is a valid json.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I use VS Code because i'm already using it as an IDE of sorts.
It already does some autocompletion and folding but if you want something fancier you could always install an extension like this:

Yeah, I've noticed them dumped in supermarket car parks: strangely more at Tesco than at Asda, for our local area.
Maybe Asda shoppers are more careful with money and reuse them, maybe they are more environmentally aware, I dunno.
I have two ex-laundry baskets in the boot of my car: one for shopping bags (to stop them coming off of the single hook, falling over, and scattering stuff everywhere), and one for used masks. Dump the bags in one, dump the mask in the other, shut the boot. Sorted!

And when they're both full, just dump them in the sea... Sorted!

If it is serious stuff, you might want to hire someone skilled in the art. You could ask for recommendations here.

If it is to sell inventory, rather you could do proper research and get something done on the cloud using azure or aws (or look for a it solution provider to do it for your company). There are eCommerce solutions you could deploy onto the cloud.Considering that what ever you make should be secure enough and properly tested.

Just one initial alarm bell (out of several) that rang for me - I was working a year or so ago with a client who was running Server2008; that OS doesn't support TLS1.2 and as a result, very few browsers can talk to his server any more over HTTPS. Support for TLS1.0 (and 1.1?) was pulled from Chrome, for instance, many months ago. At the same time browsers, and AV systems etc, are flagging sites that don't support HTTPS so his clients (businesses, not even the general public) couldn't reach his site. For various reasons I won't go into here, the client couldn't upgrade. A workaround I made clear was a short-term kludge was to point his domain at one of my servers, and run a proxy server on that using plain HTTP to his aging server. Clients happy, communications restored. (Needless to say, it's still up and running now and no news on any move away from that setup).
In summary, you may find that Windows Server 2008 is not a viable system to run a website on in 2021.

To what extent do you think you'll update the site?
I recently went through a similar process updating a 2003 website to current standards and also developed an API version, all with VB.
I started with a hosted VM then went to a dedicated server, keeping the VM for development.
I bought books on VB in ASP.Net 4.5 but found that they weren't as basic as I needed them to be - it was easier to use my old books on v2.0 and v3.5 to get started and then move on as I developed new features, finally swapping to an API basis for the most advanced versions of the site.
I would recommend you get VS2019 as a start - is there any reason why you can't move from VS2015?

I think you and I are very similar. We're the multitaskers that can "hack" something together to make it work. As you can see from the other replies, there's a lot of variables that go into an external facing e-commerce website. If you're not on top of them, it could be disastrous to say the least. Maybe someone could recommend a skinnable e-commerce service in the cloud or something prepackaged to minimize your risk.
Disclaimer: I apologize if I've read too far into your question.
