What do you think should I buy...?

A brand new Social Forum needs:

A web hosting plan + paying crazy money/per month

or

example:

IBM xSeries 335 Dual Intel Xeon 3.0GHz

4GB DDR ECC, 2x 36GB U320 10K RPM, RAID, 1U Rack Mount or similar...(one time payment)

Any ideas, suggestions or recommendations highly appreciated!

Thank you!

You could not make a proper website to be hosted at home because the speed of broadband is not good if you have many visitors to your sites as the upload speed will be so slow. You need dedicated server or shared hosting at least for proper website.

If you look for web hosting, don閳ユ獩 rush into it. Read reviews about web hosting and decide properly before going ahead with web hosting.

I personally will recommend you a web hosting which many people find it very reliable. It is hostmonster.

Before deciding to sign up hostmonster, read the reviews and stats about hostmonster at the following website.
