The Perfect Server - Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu 9.04) [ISPConfig 2] This tutorial shows how to set up an Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu 9.04) server that offers all services needed by ISPs and hosters: Apache web server (SSL-capable), Postfix mail server with SMTP-AUTH and TLS, BIND DNS server, Proftpd FTP server, MySQL server, Courier POP3/IMAP, Quota, Firewall, etc. In the end you should have a system that works reliably, and if you like you can install the free webhosting control panel ISPConfig 2 (i.e., ISPConfig runs on it out of the box).

what do you do about the network interfaces if you are going to use this config on amazon ec2?
new to ec2 and dont know if i should leave it to dhcp or make it static. and if its static what are the values i would use?
sorry for this late reply, just leave it alone.Only do the static step if you are using home server, but you aren't so use dhcp

Reboot.
for this server to be used in a small business of about 15 people... and maybe 100 visitors to the website a day what kind of hardware would be need for the server to run smoothly without putting a hole in my wallet?
Sorry for the late reply, but, with that little traffic and doing nothing else but web hosting, you could get away with an Atom processor or an old Pentium 4 if you do not care about power usage. If you need it rack mountable, I may suggest a SUPERMICRO SYS-5015A-H 1U otherwise just get a cheap system with reliable hardware and make sure you have room to grow over the next 5 years. After 5 years it may be worthwhile to upgrade to faster and more efficient power-per-watt hardware.
