1. Make sure quality components are used (motherboard/casing/RAM). Also make sure that if you have future plans, the casing/motherboard can handle it. It is very annoying if all is in a 1U casing and you can't add an extra drive later, or if motherboard supports max. 2Gb memory.
2. Select a good disk solution. Preferable (hardware if possible) RAID-10 with (15K) SCSI-drives. Otherwise SATA in a RAID config.
3. Make sure you got enough (quality) RAM. 2-4Gb should be enough in your case.
4. Choice of processor. Overall Opterons outperform the Xeon's for a web & database server.

But to get a real good advice, post in the Server Configuration forum at vBulletin.com and eva2000 will probably try to advise you. Make sure to read the stickied post on what info to provide.

Edit: Don't look too much at what a single hosting provider has to offer. Design your "perfect" machine, then go shopping with those specs at different hosting companies. Research the hosting companies that you have choosen before ordering. You could have a look at webhostingtalk.com
