    Question How to buy a web server? Which server is right for me? Please help!

    Please excuse me if posted in wrong section!

    Hello,
    We are 5 people thinking of moving our site to a new serve (but want to host it by ourselves)!
    This is due to the costs! And of course to save some money and also to have the server physically in our office!

    We are already paying £150 per month to a friend for hosting our site, so now must move! Don't have any idea of what's the details of friend's current serves!

    What about internet connection! Does anybody know where we could get that from! And how much is it per month!
    We already have fibre optic internet with Virgin media with speed of 50Mb, but that's up to 50Mbs! Is that still enough!


    So after search and searching still don't have any idea of which server to buy that suits our needs!

    We have been looking at Dell PowerEdge servers only! But as there are many out there! So need your help out there!

    We need a web server that handles;

    Visitors Per Day:
    50K ~ 60K
    Disk Space: Doesn't matter as we have SATA hard disks of 160GB, 250GB and 500GB, but obviously need to know which ones is better to use for web server! Of course must use 3 ~ 4 hard disks for back up and so on!
    Bandwidth: Don't know anything about this (We use about 50GB of hard disk storage), also we will be running a classified ad site for cars, so say about 10 pictures for every ad!

    By the way how many servers are required! We're not sure for this! Like don't we have to have 2 servers at a time and then switch between the two every say 12 hours, or maybe I'm wrong! Please make us clear on this! Thanks!

    What else! Also we live in the UK, London (Ealing).
    Please help ASAP as we need to move quickly, less than a month!
    Thanks!
