If cost is an issue, you might want to look at using virtualization as well. You could have the base O/S running the game environment then utilize a virtual module environment to handle the database and website.
I utilized VMware Server (which is now free) and setup SuSe 10.2 for the base, installed VMware Server upon it and then created a SuSe 10.2 VM solely for running the hosting website and databases. Game accounts screamed and the website/database VM worked just as fast.
One nice thing about VMware is if you have more up-to-date AMD or Intel chipsets, you can actually take advantage of the virtualization modules the newer chipsets have built into them.
