There are no specific hosting requirements to serve the front end SWF
files from your server. Any webserver will do that. It's the backend
that you need to be concerned about, however, Flex is extremely
"Flex"ible when it comes to backend integration so there is not one
answer.
For example, if all your backend data is coming from WebServices or
static XML files, then you will not need any 'extra' programing
languages installed on the server since Flex can communicate with
these services directly. However, more complicated Flex programs
will call Cold Fusion, PHP or Java services which interface with any
number of difference databases or external APIs.
It is impossible to say what you will need without understanding the
scope of what you want to do. It's probably best to spend some time
outlining your needs in terms of functionality and data storage as
well as your available skill sets (ie. do you already know some PHP,
do you have a friend who codes Java?). Once you know those details
you will then be able to choose an appropriate host to support your
backend needs.
I hope that helps.
