Building a Server to host Web Site

[alifaisal01]

I am planning on building a server to host a web site I am building for my small business. Whats the best way to start. What kinda components I need. Are they any different than building a computer for personal use?

I would really appriciate any pointers.

If it is just web use you might want to look at a hosted solution. Better connectivity, uptime, support, etc. And probably more cost effective.

What are you going to use the server for? What application/business purposes will the server facilitate?

uptime and connectivity are non issues since I am not even sure if I would get any traffic. its more for a leaning experience.

I am planning on installing liferay6 with Mysql on it. Ubuntu 8 Server for OS.
