Hi Jordan,
Thanks for replying. I apologize I forgot to mention that I was asking
for the web and database spec because this will be an on-premise
deployment, cloud platforms are out of the equation. I hope this will
clarify my concern asking for server specification for a web and
database server that won't have high traffic but will have a long run.
Thanks again.

Hi to everyone at misc,
I'm recently working on an OpenBSD-based PHP7 web application with
PostgreSQL-backend for a local government agency and was wondering
what would you recommend as the acceptable server specification. This
web application won't reach the Google or Facebook level of visits
per day, but I was hoping to prepare this be deployed and run for
quite a long time and ready for about 60,000 visits per day at most.
Your advise and recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
so much.
I don't have much experience running php apps in production, but I
have run a Django app in production using httpd and Postgres. Using a
basic 4 core VM from Vultr, benchmarks showed it was able to serve
over 4000 requests per second. With those kind of numbers you could
easily serve over a million hits per day. It didn't have a lot of
complex DB activity going on, so the benchmarks were more testing
httpd and Djangos throughput, but I digress. If you cluster your
servers, you should be able to hit far more.
