[TYPO3] tell me about servers, and let me know what server I should purchase for my typo3 site

[dave typo]

I am not maintaining the server, there is an office that maintains all

Thanks for your post, I need to have an argumentative case arguing for
or against specific machines. I'm not worrying about the maintenance.

thanks,
