Hosting Server for a lightweight PHP web app

I am looking to buy a server which can host Apache, MySQL and PHP on Linux. What configuration should I look at? Traffic wont be that hectic, it is targeted for a defined set of users (say 2000 users). And the application also wont be CPU heavy.

Most any server should meet your requirements - even shared it sounds like.
Any additional information on the platform?

I guess I was not completely clear in my question.

I am currently hosting on a shared server and it works fine. But I am planning to move to my own machine hosted in my office. Wanted to decide on the configuration of the server machine I should buy. It should be able to run Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL and a decent control panel. Any thoughts would be welcome.

And would 10TB bandwidth be enough for such an application for around 2000 users?

Hi Ahmed,

You will be good with any low-end single Intel Xeon based server or even with Core i5 based machine. $ GB or 8 GB of RAM will be enough. Make sue the web host will get you enterprise HDD, for example WD RE4 or WD RE SAS hard drives. It is a good ida to ask the web hosting provider what kind of network does it use and does it own the infrastructure and the network it operates.
