Totally depends on your application and infrastructure as applied to your traffic/usage. My server at CrystalTech (remember I got it three years ago) is a 1.2MHz Celeron with 256 Meg of RAM. It works just fine as my email server (about 40 people), web server for about a dozen small sites (none very busy) and a few other things. I used the Shared SQL Server than comes with the account (freeing up resources on my server). The server runs absolutely great (I'm running CF 7 Standard). All that said in (very) general more apps benefit from more cores. If you're running both CF and your DB and a mail server, etc then more cores would be more beneficial than if you're just running CF. CF itself does benefit from multiple cores as well, of course, but only if the server is busy (server multiple simulataneous requests). Of course more apps means more RAM needed. Considering just CF however it's still kind of up in the air. Some applications are much more process intensive (more CPU good) and others are much more data intensive (more RAM good). If you don't know what you'll hosting yet then a good balance is needed. In general you more bang for the buck from RAM (it's cheaper and server-components tend to be more RAM-starved than cycle starved) but that's just a rule of thumb. Remember tho' - this is a server. For well over 98% of web sites a server like mine (small, slow and cheap) works just fine. Only think about upgrading if you need to (are planning to run more services or know that your site will receive substantial traffic or need substantial resources).
