I have tried turning off various extensions, running Disk Warrior, among other things, but the server keeps crashing at least once a day. There is never more than 12 people at a time logged onto it. Can someone please help?

Have you looked at the server logs to see what those people are sending to the server? Someone might have discovered a buffer overflow and be sending maliscious requests to your machine.
Apart from that, have you checked the usual things, such as RAM allocation, dick space available etc.

Yes, I have tried that and found nothing. As far as the RAM is concerned, there is 512 Megs of RAM on this machine. 200 of which are allocated for the Webstar. But thanks.

Have you allocated enough RAM? It might be simply something like a memory leak that is continually asking for more memory.
Have you tried pinpointing exactly when it crashes? Is it always the same time or same event etc?
Also, does it understand http 1.1, which might be some of the requests you're getting. IIRC, Webstar is quite old and might not support or understand the newer protocol.
Also, could you post the bit of the server log that is just before the crash. maybe you're missing something.
Finally, why don't you run OSX? You won't have those problems there.
