    You can find an overview of the features on the Microsoft website (here).
    Hosting a database for a website on a Standard Edition is perfectly possible.  Enterprise Edition is for really large environments, so if you are expecting millions of hits per day it might be better to use EE because of it's extra features for high level/load databases.  But a lot of databases will run just fine on Standard Edition.
