I work for a small online business (only 2 of us) and we're looking to get a reasonably priced server. At the moment we have lots of projects (websites etc) running from my PC and it's getting very slow. We also have to keep the PC online 24/7 which is a nuissance.

Can anyone recommend a decent place to find servers? As it's a small business I think a small and cheap server should suffice initially but I really don't know where to start. In case anyone is wondering the server will be used locally so it's not for hosting purposes etc.

Any help or suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks to everyone that replied to this by the way.

I'm thinking a tower would be the easiest solution as I'm pretty limited in my knowledge of hardware. We would be hosting websites locally (and have a lot of web applications) so I was wondering what the "Mini PCs" (better name for this?) are like?

Would anyone recommend a SheevaPlug or something similar for a requirement like this? I know a couple have been mentioned but any more thrown in the bag would be ideal.

Cheers,

Gibbs
