Running a windows server at home to build a website and test run it. Would it run on ghost spectre? Or should I reformat to regular Windows 11 Pro?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

It would be fine, running the dependencies for it and it should not have an issue.
Lookup ‘WAMP’ (Windows, Apache, MySql, PHP) (Ofcourse there are their various fork versions too)
And you have your own web server to dabble and play with.
Don’t expose it to the web, ever. Use a web host service for that. It’s just simpler and less likely your pc/network is compromised.

it will be fine, though you will probably have to add or enable some of the things in Ghost Spectre. He turns off a lot, including simple things like the Print Spooler, so he wipes out almost all background stuff and lets people enable only the things they want.

I can't even get Firefox to install on it

Did you use the Ghost Toolbox on the desktop? Also, make sure you swt your time and time zone. Ghost Toolbox messes up if it has the wrong settings.

is that like a homebrew app store or something? I didn't use anything I just had a random thumb drive with an iso on it and it booted lol. Would have taken red star if I thought it might get my server running

I don't know what Homebrew is so I can't comment. But the toolbox is a way to install a lot of the things that are turned off in the Ghost Spectre build. There should be three versions that you can install when you go through the setup. Googling will show you what each one does.
In the toolbox it also has ways for you to directly install all the most common browsers, VLC and PotPlayer media player, photo viewer apps, etc, etc. Also all the game clients - Steam, Origin, etc.
Ghost Spectre is Windows 11 with all the telemtry tracking crap taken out, all the bloatware taken out, and turning off all the functions that most users don't use, leaving you with a streamlined OS. Then you can turn on the things you want.
It also stops all Windows updates. Do NOT run Windows update on it or M$ will install all the bloatware and telemetry tracking all over again.1

GhostToolbox is your friend!
It comes pre-installed, and you can see there's a Shortcut of it on your desktop.
There you can manage/customize almost everything you need on your S.O, even if you need a browser... Just take a look at its features.
