In three pages this paper discusses a web server in terms of setup and how future use increases can be incorporated with connection type and server costs among the topics addressed. Four sources are listed in the bibliography.

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
how much data needs to be held and what type of connection is required before any decision is made. With the server needing to hold about 400 pages, and may
have up to 50 concurrent users. As the company is an advertising company it may also be reasonably assumed that the contents may be heavy on graphics which take up
extra bandwidth. There is also the need to give on line information and the need for the information to be online all the time. The set up will need to
be able to facilitate increased future growth, where selling will be able to take place, meaning that security is an issue, and also work with clients can take place meaning
both security and bandwidth may need to increase rapidly. Therefore the web server chosen needs to be capable of meeting the future needs as well as the current needs.
Important aspects are the CPU speed and number, the memory storage space and also the need to attach the server to a fire wall and ensure uninterrupted power supply. The
recommendation here is for a Dell PowerEdge 4600 (Dell, 2003). This a general server and therefore flexible. The server rackable and therefore may be easily expanded. There is the
facility for two Xeon processors any power between 1.8 GHz up to 3GHz (Dell, 2003). The starting price of these servers is $2,699. This is subtitle for up to 100
employees, and able to deliver data over the internet at a good speed, worth a 400Mhz front side bus speed. The memory may be anything form 512 MB to
12 GB at 200 Mhz and can have four way interleaving memory (Dell, 2003). In looking at a suitable configuration for current a future use the speciation as follows
