Raspberry Pi Webserver?

The Cool n00B

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I put it here.

 

There's currently a drop for an R Pi 2 w/ power adapter, USB cable, braided HDMI cable, and a USB WiFi dongle. It also comes with a 16 GB SD cards. All that costs $60 US. There's 10 days left on the drop. My website (http://1achmed1.tk/) is currently hosted on Hostinger.co.uk. It's a UK based host (go figure) and I'm based in the US, not that that actually matters that much. On the free plan, which is what I have, I get 10 mbps, 8 GB of RAM, a Xeon E3-1230, a RAID 1 array, and the Centos 6.2 OS. I get 100 GB/month for total transfers and 2 GB of disk space. I know that an R Pi 2 only has 1 GB of RAM and an ARM7 Quad Core @ 900 MHz. We're getting Quantum in like a week, and we got the 150 mbps package. IDK how many Ethernet ports the Quantum router has, but there's currently 3/4 ports used. I'd keep it not connected to a display and have it run 24/7, will cloudflare also. I wanted opinions on whether I should get one of these, or even two. IDK how to set them up to work together if I get two. I had the Model B but I busted it because I shocked it and now it doesn't work. Luckily the drop comes with a case.

 

TL;DR should I get one or two R: Pi 2s, or none at all and stick with my current webhost? If I were to get two, how do I connect them to work together? I'd use Ethernet to connect to the internet.
