Raspberry Pi is not a server, technically it is a single board computer.

What's the software and database built off? 
Windows ASP/ IIS or on a LAMP or something else?
Are you going to build it anew or you already have the sw & db built?

If you ask for suggestion. Get a debian Linux OS on any old hardware you can get your hands on and set up LAMP on it.

If you want something online, thats a total separate discussion though.

Go for refurbished dell/hp/Lenovo server. Stay away from the Solaris/oracle servers.

OR

Build an assembled PC with good specs as per your requirement and use as a server.

Go the cloud way instead of this approach!

A very costly affair 😉 Not recommended.

Opt for AWS cloud for software and databases, this will avoid any physical or hardware and maintenance cost to you and you'll pay for the services that you use.
