Any help, paid or free will be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You can improve performance by having a fast network connection and plenty
of RAM.  I don't see how PHP could possibly improve performance since it
adds overhead and uses resources, but I have never used it, so I don't
know if it is better than a combination of CGI and SSI.  Someone I do work
for briefly had PHP on his server and it required files totalling 150 MB.

If you offer free webhosting, be ready to be swamped with requests for
websites.  For example look at virtualave.net which has 402,964 member
sites climbing daily (on multiple boxes of course).  They run Apache
(suexec) on FreeBSD.  They don't do PHP and I doubt if they have MySql.
