The server is just the localhost that I use for testing; it's Apache and MySQL running on Ubuntu 18.04 on an HP Elite 3.0ghz with 4GB of RAM <https://www.amazon.com/HP-Elite-Professional-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B0094JF1HA>. I haven't really figured out what kind of hardware or software I want to use for production, because I haven't done a lot of server administration (I've typically just used a VPS when I needed webhosting, but perhaps my needs now have expanded beyond that, because this is going to be a huge wiki, the same scale as Wikipedia; although my main concern at the moment is with making page saves, rather than page loads, more efficient, since I don't necessarily anticipate having a lot of visitors from the Internet reading the wiki, or else I'd be focusing more on stuff like caching; I mostly just want to set up a workable proof-of-concept for the moment.)
I've heard that Wikimedia splits their enwiki database up among more than one server; is that how they're able to handle several page saves per second on the master?
