    “user load is 1000-2000 per day”

    This isn’t a particularly good measure of what load your database will be under.
    You need to measure things like:

    • the number and complexity of your queries.
    • What kind of writes (insert/update/delete) will need to be performed.
    • How many of those a user might perform.
    • The amount of data being dealt with in the above queries.
    • Whether you can cache any of the results of queries.

    For instance, I know of systems where having 1000 users required a cluster of high end servers to deal with the load.

    If you can model what the performance is like for 50, 100, and 500 users – that could give you an idea of whether you can deal with this load.

    FWIW: SQL Server Express Edition is free for commercial usage.
