I Am probably reading this wrong:, but since I never stay at a Holiday Inn Express, I don't have the required Expertise:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993%28v=SQL.110%29.aspx

but i don't see a # of connections limitation on SQL Express;

so I think you can use SQL Express until your database exceeds ten gig, or you want to use more than one CPU for processing;

So Am I right? can you install SQL Express for your web server to hit under the existing license structure?

there are other handicaps, like no jobs/Sql Agent etc of course....
