    Is this fine for a shared hosting server?

    4 Cores
    12GB RAM
    500GB HDD Raid1
    KVM Virtualization
    1GB port

    Cpanel + Cloudlinux

    Will probably load up nginx...

    Just need to get suggestion..

    Thanks.

    Looks good
    If you get lots of clients, you can upgrade / move to another server.

    Should be fine. Just monitor resource usage closely and if you notice issues, upgrade accordingly

    If you are just starting then yes that is very fine.
    You can upgrade later when you need. Only thing you need to care about is resource usage.

    Should be fine, you can always upgrade the RAM if you need to in the future.

    RAM is just fine i think, only hardware can be upgraded/changed with a newer technology or better processor.

    this processor is enough to host light weight website. If you are planning to host bigger websites then get a high end processor with atleast 8 to 16 cores.

    Looks fine to start but 4 cores of what processor? Everything looks fine, I have noticed larger systems being more profitable but there is no reason to start off with a big beefy machine until you can be sure you will get the clients and you get a good idea of what your clients are actually going to consume.

    In case you are just starting to build up your business it looks fine, later on when you are more "into it" you could always upgrade if needed.

    It depends of course what kind of resources you're providing in the Shared Hosting packages for customers, but yes this should be just fine to start off with. Always make sure the server you're picking up is one you can upgrade as needed so you're not limiting yourself.

    That is a good start. You don't want to spend too much off the bat to feel out the market.

    Looks to be a good started for a Shared Server, and running CloudLinux with cPanel will help utilize the server to it's fullest. I would recommend you confirm your upgrade path first. See how much RAM (and type) can be upgraded with this specific motherboard, and the same with your CPU, and if you can add multiple CPU to the server. If so you can simply upgrade hardware as you need instead of migrating when you need more resources. Once you have all the information you can then monitor and grow your server in line with your customer acquisitions.

    It's OK to begin with, now start monitoring the situation...
