Your Server Configuration and Starter Server Recommendation

Hello Everyone,

What is your server configuration? Specifically, how much RAM does your dedicated/cloud/vps server have? As a beginner, I'm searching for cheap hosting, and I've found several reasonably priced. But with their price, comes either 256MB or 512MB of RAM and 200GB to 250GB of bandwidth.

For starters, I was thinking that my dedicated server would run on Ubuntu or CentOS with MySQL and Apache using either Perl or PHP to cobble everything together. I'm thinking my first project will be an affiliate site and trading traffic with others wherein the server will host predominantly text links to other sites and minimally (if not never) house graphics and videos.

What do you guys think? Am I misguided? Is the bandwidth skinny? I am a noob to the business. Thank you for reading this far and your consideration.

Egon
