1. A computer, and an outlet, and an account with a power & light company as well an internet.
2. www.godaddy.com easiest solution
3. The cheapest and easiest way is to buy a second user server, an old Dell for example. They are really cheap because nobody wants old servers. Install Linux, you can get it free, and Apache, also free. Have fun! I set up a family web server for about $250.
4. Any computer, add more hard drives for space, server software, and max out the RAM that the motherboard will support! If you talk performance, it is still the same things just more of it. Better server = larger case that supports over eight hard drives, motherboard that supports dual/quad/2 or 4 CPUs. Redundant power supply. Cooling fans to keep inside of case cool. Your software: Operating System = Server Software, Web creation software, application software, router, two network cards, Back up server - so, where do you want to go, it is up to your pocket book.
