Help with building a server

[Corsair]

Howdy. I'm in the process of making an mmo using the realm crafter engine and I'd like to build a server for this project. Would anyone be able to recommend fairly affordable hardware and perhaps an os? I don't want to use anything that will accommodate more than a few hundred users for the beta test. I'll of course need this for server-side account saving, web site hosting (user stats mainly), and things of that nature as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated. :slurp:

bump...
Can anyone help me out?

Sigh... bump again.
Does anyone here even know?

 

[Corsair]

Well, since no one here knows can someone point me out to some one who does or some place where I actually can get some help?

 

[Corsair]

Can anyone help at all...?

Why don't you check the proper Forums like this one http://www.mmoradio.com/ I've seen lot of help at http://tutorials.moddb.com/91/?fpage=0 but the site seems very slow today.

I run game servers but never tried mmo games.
