PRICE ME A COMPLETE SYSTEM

[Wizard Keyaz]

Hi Guys,

Can someone price me a Server spec, it has to be the CHEAPEST possible for a web hosting server.

From A to Z

And some advice about maintenance of it as well as minimum requirements needed as this will be my first!

Much appreciated.

People need to be thrown into the deepend of things so that they can understand what they are dealing with because sometimes people can't find the right channels to get started on there own.

If people on here are that helpful as the fist guy who responded by being harsh.

How about people saying "you can't do it because blah blah blah," instead of belittling someone who is new at this ball game.

Wizard,
Yes I agree we all need to start somewhere, I am sorry if you thought my response was harsh, but I have seen too many people put an un-patched / unproteched box on the internet thinking they can use it as a webserver and in seconds the thing has been compromised and is spewing Malware and hosting Botnets.
If you really want to play with webservers, then setup a box (LAMP or WAMP) on an INTERNAL network - or setup a VM environment that is not connected to your WAN NIC.

Most home broadband suppliers will also stop or frown upon traffic going to a system on port 80 (Something taking the bandwidth their customers pay for!) - you will also need a static IP, again something you wont get with a home broadband package....

So, really - save yourself the hassle and the headaches and get a decent EXTERNAL webhosting package

The server will be hidden from all public eyes, I am however intending to use a suitable connection (HSP) ideally for a Server do do such job I require.

At the moment I am using a external Web Host but I am paying a lot of money for and was considering building my own to save the money, as of now I have three web developers and I will be selling websites on a fulltime basis taking a step back from the hardware and concentrating and two highly paced markets which is Software and Web Development through my existing Hardware services.

Also the cooled environment the server will be placed already has a red alarm system.

Anyways I hope you have a nice day.

Why didn't you say that to start off with? Also how much traffic will it be hosting? Is it only a dev box?

At the moment, I have more than 15+ ecommerce website running and more than 50+ managed site including info based static with heavy flash based websites.

At the moment I was wondering who is the best network provider for the net and also which will be the best hardware for it.
