Off Topic Server recommendations

[Stephen Partington]

This is a somewhat risky combination to put on the same server. The reason
being you now have your entire company exposed to the outside world. An
option would be to use a VM solution on the bare metal and then you could
separate your Services and even use different OS's for each based on needs.
as for the server i would probably look at the Dell T110 and T320 as they
are both for sale at 600 and under to start and can scale very nicely for a
smaller business. and you can leverage Dell support and get replacement
parts and materials quite fast.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
