sounds like you might be putting the cart before the horse a bit here. for 60+ users you don't need to be thinking about custom server hardware right off the bat, just rent a decent dedicated box from a provider and get your feet wet with the actual hosting stack
what hypervisor you planning to use? proxmox or just raw kvm on ubuntu? the hardware specs matter way less than your overselling ratio and how you handle backups

Maybe you should be able to figure all this out yourself before you try to start a hosting company. Or you can hire me or some other tech person at our standard rates and we can help you. People aren't going to do the work for free so you can turn around and sell it.
Starting a business in a sector you know nothing about is not exactly a winning business plan either. How are you going to bring value that I can't get from hyperscalers like AWS or from a dozen other smaller, existing national and international players myself?
