What kind of resources do you need to start your own online forum? I tried godaddy.com and thought about purchasing enough storage space for ~1000 email accounts, but I'm not sure if this the most straightforward or cost-effective solution.
I'll have access to a machine with 6.6 GHz speed, 4 GB RAM, and 2x 320 GB storage in a few days...is this enough to have the machine act as a server?
Any help you could provide would be great!
