I want to create a web server for a non-profit "no kill" animal shelter. They raise money by donations and a donation store, all profits go into the animal shelter.
I have reviewed and Ubuntu seems to be the best lightweight to powerful server, and Apache seems to be the most flexible http.
My hardware is: Asus A8N, with 4GB RAM with AMD 64x2 4200+ CPU.
All I need is an OS with a light or simple GUI that is easy to set up, copy my web files to and serve. It will not be a heavily used server. My upstream bandwidth is 3Mbps.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to AskUbuntu! Unfortunately this is not the right place to ask for a general help. You can try ubuntuforums, etc. If you have specific questions you are always welcome.

Your goal is admirable but you have a lot to learn indeed if you plan to set up a self hosted webserver. You must learn about internet security, domain registrations, etc, etc in addition to Ubuntu. As your journey progresses, please come back here and ask your Ubuntu questions, but far too much of this is off topic here.

My apologizes, thank you for your input, I do have a "parked" domain with godaddy, and I have hosted 2 past servers using fedora. I just wanted to get it right this time. And yes, I have a lot to learn :)

@JohnCrouch the problem with your question is that it is too broad. You need to ask specific questions. Good luck with your quest. And remember that security is hard. So keep your exposure low, by ensuring that if you are totally compromised, that you loose nothing (no personal identifying information, no passwords, no payment details, everything backed up, at least), or you get help with security.

@JohnCrouch Don't host it on your machine or network. Get a Virtual Private Server (aka VPS) in the cloud. Prices start at $5/month for an Ubuntu server which comes configured with Apache, MySQL, and decent security (firewall, fail2ban,...). Better security, better continuity, zero electricity, and no need to open your own network to the internet. I went with DigitalOcean and am happy with them but there are others.
