Yes , but there are limitation like databases only up to 10 GB and can utilize only 1 GB of memory and up to four processor cores. Best Suit for a small application with no scalability.

Normally you wouldn't host your own website, unless you are a very large company - you'd use a hosting service who will have a much "wider" pipeline to the internet that you would. And they will normally provide the database facilities, and not like the idea of you installing your own software (even from MS) on their kit.

You might get away with hosting it yourself, provided the number of users is kept very low, and under those circumstances SQL Express will probably be sufficient as well. But...it's not very scalable and you will hit it's limits fairly quickly if your user count hits double figures.
