Hi Lynn,
I assume you are talking about a computer server that will reside in a data center facility. In such case, I recommend buying a dual Xeon processor server with redundant SAS hard drives and redundant power supplies.
Depending on the vendor, such server can cost anywhere between $3000-$10000 or much more. There are many server vendors in the market but it would be safe to limit the list to these: IBM, HP, Dell. For example, the HP DL380 G6 would be a good candidate. Be sure to configure hard drive mirroring for example.
There’s also the option of renting one and having it co-located at a data center by a provider. For example, we offer multi-Xeon processor server with SAS hard drives for monthly rent (https://www.unixy.net/secure/cart.php). The servers we offer are fully managed and networked by our engineers. There’s an advantage to renting a server as opposed to buying one in the sense that you are shielded from parts replacement, maintenance, and support. All are taken care of by the provider.
By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a fully managed dedicated server business here in Houston Texas. Feel free to get in touch with me at joe@unixy.net if you have a question or comment.
Best
