You will most likely want a Linux server for this. If you are just starting out I'd recommend a virtual server, cloud based or not. For no technical support but good infrastructure id look at amazon web services. I can provide some advice in regards to infrastructure and the software required to get you going however I'm not a developer. I have a few contacts in the business however (work in web hosting).
I'm in melb this weekend but if you would like some advice I can point you in the right direction.. Feel free to shoot me a PM.
