ya was simple build for just hosting my own pages, the servers at the city i built we usually put at least 8 GB fully buffered RAM with dual xeon processors. doesent take much to host a couple of web pages. if u have any interest in networking we run a cisco 2851 router and its a beast, so far it is the best router i have had to deal with. and also if its a $6/month host it has to be a shared host/server serving 500 customers or more , so really you do not get the performance of the physical specs.
