epyks23, that sounds great. GeoServer should be able to run on most web hosting servers. The amount of RAM required depends on configuration. 1 GB spare RAM will be more than enough, and small installations use less. You will need a couple of GB of storage for your data and can use more for a tile cache if you want one.
If they do not yet have it, they may need to install a Java 7 or 8 JDK and Tomcat to provide Java servlet hosting capacity. GeoServer is a Java servlet, which is a standard component type, and most administrators will be familiar with how to install it: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/installation/war.html The web server (e.g. Apache) will also need to be configured to be a proxy for Tomcat. This allows your GeoServer (in Tomcat on port 8080) to appear as part of the existing web site (on port 80) and fixes all firewall and cross domain problems. This is also a standard task for administrators, not specific to GeoServer. You can also choose a context other than /geoserver to brand the service with a project name. Be sure to change the proxy settings in GeoServer so GeoServer can rewrite its content so links are correct for your proxy: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/webadmin/server/globalsettings.html#proxy-base-url I also recommend moving your GeoServer data directory somewhere outside the webapps directory to make upgrades easier: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/datadirectory/index.html You will need some sort of remote access to upload data and administer the html/css/js parts and restart Tomcat as required. Be sure to change the default GeoServer password as soon as your server is public! Otherwise vandals might compromise or damage your GeoServer. Kind regards, Ben.
