Minimum Hardware for my first dedicated web server?

Consider 2GM RAM with a Pentium processor. Apache on Linux will be a good choice. Hard disk will depend on your needs, but make a start with 120GB hard disk.

Not that i know of.  If you don't have a win2k cd, i'd suggest installing Apache! It's an awesome webserver.

You'll need a media center.  Linksys makes one, they run about $200 US

for windows XP or server 2003 AT LEAST 32MB... I suggest 64MB.  If you plan on doing any gaming at all I suggest 128MB.\n\nOn Linux, refer to your versions specification requirements as each version can vary.  In general, 32MB for most GUI interfaces, 8MB for most command line interfaces.

Yes, though it is not going to be as efficient.  It should not have any problems.  Server 2003 is pretty much the same as W2K except is has more features.  Hard to find out exactly what you are looking for, but feel free to follow up.

Go to any web company that offers Virtual Dedicated Servers.  So for example, Rackforce, Rackspace, Verio, etc.  Just do a web search, and you'll find some good prices out there.  The cost has really dropped in line with the dropping price of storage...

Need more information to give you an intelligent answer?\n\nCPU speed; RAM speed and amount; connection types, USB 1.1 or 2.0,  firewire, etc.; HD Size, type(s); Video card(s), and any other pertinent specifications?

Your first step is to find an ISP that will provide you with a dedicated IP address and the bandwidth you will need.\nOnce you have that in place, you register your domain name.\n\nHere is some additional information:\nhttp://www.internetplanners.com/dedicated_ip_address.html\nhttp://philip.greenspun.com/panda/server\nhttp://www.dslwebserver.com/\nhttp://www.diywebserver.com/

You should increase your RAM, regardless of which distro you get.\n\nThat said, Redhat is the best supported distro out there, so if you are new to Linux, I would highly recommend it.\n\nTo make a Web server, any old Linux distro will do, but I use Mandrake for my *nix box and couldn't be happier with it.

1. Home-based: set up your own server and attach it to your ISP connection (if permitted).\n2. Free web hosting provider (you might have to tolerate ads).\n3. Paid web hosting provider, managed. (You provide content only, usually template-based).\n4. Paid web hosting provider, unmanaged. (You control the server and content. VPS (or VDS) servers are great for this).\n5. Rent rack space in data center and install your own server. (Probably not an option, or you wouldn't have to ask).\n\nOr did you want technologies?\n\n1. Learn HTML.\n2. Use FrontPage (or Composer, or DreamWeaver, etc.)\n3. Use Flash (yuck).\n4. Use templates.\n5. Hire a web designer.

Well, first of all you need a server.  The kind of server you need really depends on what you want to do with said server.  In other words, if you want to host simple web pages with little interaction, then you don't need too much power.  However, if you intend to host database applications, multimedia streaming, or mail service, you will need more power.\n\nThere are a lot of things to consider when building a server, but if it's in your house, security should be the first one.  A server (if you are unfamiliar) is just a PC running a Server OS (Windows XP Pro running IIS, or Windows Server 2003).  You can also (if you are comfortable) run a Linux-based server, which will increase security and up-time (these are usually called LAMP - Linux Apache MySQL Perl/PHP).  \n\nYou will also need a high-speed connection, and most importantly a high-speed upload.  You don't HAVE to get a static IP, because there are services which will remedy the dynamic IP issue, but it is definitely recommended.  You would most likely want a synchronous connection like a T1 line or SDSL.  Most DSL or ADSL lines give you a 1.5-3.0 mbps download rate, but only a 128-384 kbps upload rate.  With this type of connection, people accessing your server would experience VERY slow navigation.  Also, keep in mind that your local ISP isn't going to be too happy if your connection is trafficking huge amounts of bandwidth on a daily basis.\n\nTell me what you are thinking of doing, and I'll give you al the advice you could need.  As far as making it your profession, are you talking about maintaining a server on which you would allow other people to host their websites?  The short answer is no, you couldn't do it cheap enough.  You really need a hord of servers and fast connections and thousands of clients.  \n\nHowever, if you are talking about hosting your own webserver in house for your own sites, you could be profitable.  Sometimes, however, it's not worth the headache and easy to find a cheap domain host.

Try Dell, Mesh or Evesham. Even better, if you have a local computer builder, is to visit them and discuss your requirements face-to-face. You'll generally get a better customer experience and will be able to ensure your PC gives you exactly what you want it to.

First, get a real computer.......lol\nSecond, I would get the linksys NSLU2.\nThen add a couple of USB2.0 hard-drives and you're good to go.
