    Hello Guys.. I was wondering I am looking to buy a server.. And I need to know what different servers do.. E.G If I wanted to start a hosting server would I need to look for a specific server?

    Thanks, Zack..

    A normal computer can run as a web server. You just need the server software and to forward port 80 in your router. Most web servers run linux, apache, mysql and php.

    A great internet connection is important.

    A mac mini for hosting? Weird.

    If you don't know what a server is you shouldn't start a hosting company. Or you should resell hosting (lease a web server and sell shared hosting).

    Please follow my signature, bottom right hand to find Servers from $ 49.50/month, VPS from $ 29/month.

    In that page you can see their different characteristics and further details to learn more on them.

    Any P4 box will do I think.

    And for the Web Server - You can also google apache web server. And by the way one requirement about having a web server you need a High Speed Internet or else you will end up having a server crawling :D

    And also try to check this out http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/23555.html

    Goodluck....
