Hello

I'd like to start my own server based on Raspberry Pi at home.
I'd like to have mail,web and ftp server, connection outside of home network.

But I have no idea where to start, I can connect HDD to Raspberry Pi to work as a storage, but have no idea about which Rasp to buy and how to configure whole stuff to work outside of my home net.

Sorry post might be little chaotic :c
Thanks for help tho.

I'd advise against running all that from a Pi. It's not exactly powerful to begin with and not all packages might be available for ARM.

Do you recommend anything that is fairly cheap ?

I don't need a lot of power.

RPi can handle that for light home usage. I'd go for a RPi 3 Model B for how much you want to do. 

Here's a good guide for setting up Postfix with Dovecot and Squirrelmail: https://samhobbs.co.uk/raspberry-pi-email-server

Sure, but I also want to have FTP and for example Apache or Nginx there, will RPi handle it ?
EDIT:

Also I want to open server for inet, do I need public IP address from my ISP ?
