Server hardware:

I think a low end VPS (like a Linode 512) will be plenty for most communities.

They're using Apache, but I'm sure it would be pretty easy to get things working on nginx. The hardest part would be doing all the URL rewriting stuff. (I've never worked with nginx so I don't know how that type of stuff is implemented - it may just work as-is.)
I'm worried about the URL rewriting the most. That is my concern. So I was wondering if it will be easy to make XF works with Nginx without any trouble specially in URL rewriting.

Doesn't get much more simple that this:
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>Erik

Simple? The only thing I see in that is a smiley
I'm not a good coder though, have no idea where to start :S

That rule basically says that any time the requested file or directory is not found, it should be passed to index.php.
XenForo itself then works out how to route the request.

When I look at the code I can see something like that in it.
One day I wanna be as good as you
Maybe this will help you understand:
URL rewriting is extremely powerful, you should try to learn it sometime.
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On # turn the rewrite engine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR] # if the URL is a file that actually exists on the server
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR] # or a symbol link (it goes to an existing file on the server)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d # or a directory that actually exists on the server
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] # do nothing (let the request continue)
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L] # otherwise, just redirect the request to PHP, which will use environment variables, regex's, etc. to find out what the user is asking for (or display an error message if the request is invalid)
</IfModule>

Whoa! Thanks Erik
I now see it. Question, are coders good in math?
Not necessarily, but there is some overlap between Mathematics and Computer Science

Thought so.
Pretty dang amazing for the amount of stuff that's being pulled:
Edit: sorry for the screenshot fail.
Bear in mind an awful lot of that is coming from signature content. Turn off signatures in your preferences and take a look again and the resources XenForo itself requests.

Numbers do tell a story, but "feel" tells a story too. The site just "feels" snappy and quick, and that's how most users will see it. The average user doesn't care how many queries are being processed or file requests or all that. The site just feels fast as hell, and that's great.
Good job
Good job
Numbers can influence the feel though. Though I must admit without running my own page diagnostics (I did this like.. 30 mins after registering?) the site just felt right, it felt perfect, fast, very web 2.0.Numbers do tell a story, but "feel" tells a story too.
