What are the minimum hardware requirements for running a web server?

In: Web Hosting [Edit categories]

Answer:

There is no official minimum, although I would not consider it feasible to run a server without at least 10 GB of hard drive space or 128 MB of RAM. Keep in mind that if you are running a server with low specifications, it will most likely run faster if it is running Linux (and a server version of Linux, at that) as opposed to another operating system.
