The answer is actually present in the link that you have posted:
A small to medium business solution server will do for an organization that has a small number of users (2-75 according to the link). On this server you would want to set up network shares, print server features, your small business website ( assuming it is not going to get a lot of traffic and will not be selling stuff online), a small database, and some other shared applications.
For web server they are assuming that you will be hosting a professional website. As a lot of users can simultaneously come to your website, you will need it to be fast enough to handle these users without slowing down the website. Link is offering solutions for around 400 - 1000 users per minute. That is your site will be able to handle the traffic if 400 or a 1000 users visit the site every minute. If users go over that the site could become slow.
Finally for a database server they are assuming you are going to run SQL, Oracle, or some other heavy-duty database. Databases can be very resource intensive depending on how many users are concurrently pulling data from the database.

There is no difference. You're talking about the exact same operating system. It's difficult to tell for sure from your question, but I think you're getting hung up on the licensing feature (per user vs per device). SBS comes with 5, which are effectively dual licenses. When you add new licenses, it's per user or per device. If you haven't done this before, it can be pretty confusing. The only problem would be if you bought terminal services licenses, which are a whole seperate category. SBS can't use terminal services, so a TS license won't even load. SBS is supposed to be pretty simple. It isn't. If you're getting hung up on the licensing.... You going to have a really, really tough time. SBS is actually VERY finicky. So far, we've got over 30 "fixes" to a standard SBS install that aren't even in Microsoft's documentation; all of which we've found necessary to avoid error messages, loss of function, etc. as the server is actually used. Building and installing PCs is nothing like a server. PC's just use DNS, DHCP, RRAS, etc. PCs assume those services are configured correctly. Servers configure all of that. You're going to have to configure a host of services you took for granted with a PC. It takes a skilled systems engineer at least 10 hours to configure a SBS server, when he knows EXACTLY what he's doing. You've been handed a task way beyond your skill. It's like telling a guy to fly a 747 because he's built 25 model airplanes. Don't take the blame on this one, guy. Straight up, you've got to call a pro, or at least ask for some serious help. Otherwise you're the one who's going to look bad.

Small Medium business is for a relatively small amount of people to connect to a server or centralized computer that has other programs on it. (1-100)
Web Server is a server that hosts websites. It is a computer specifically designed to host peoples websites and is allotted for bandwidth.
Database server is a computer with a ton of info on it that multiple people can access at a time.
