The number of sites depends on many factors, the amount of traffic for each
site, the complexity of the scripts for each site, etc.  The other major
factor is the hardware on the server, IE CPU, RAM, disk size and speed.  I
have seen IIS 5.0 servers that handle over 1000 web sites without issue, I
have also seen IIS 5 servers that cannot handle the amount of traffic a
single site receives.

Hello,

About 5000 is a practical limit due to metabase[1].

You will however most likely be limited in hardware before you reach this
limit.
