We are wondering if there are any performance or security issues with hosting
one website on our Terminal Server?

Thanks,

I don't think it's a good idea because of security reasons.

A terminal server is normally installed inside of the LAN, a webserver,
because of its vulnerability in the DMZ. If you want to use it as webserver,
port 80 has to be opened. If a hacker tries to hack your IIS, your complete
TS will be damaged. Also keep the performance in mind, because if your
website has a lot of hits, it decreases the performance for the TS users.

OK--thanks. We'll probably move the role to another server then.
