What are basic hardware requirements of building a web server with database?

You haven't provided enough information to properly answer that question. There are a couple things that will greatly influence the server requirements. First it will depend on what technology platform you are going to use, eg. what language, type of database, web server, etc. For example if you are going to run PHP and Mysql then Linux would be a good OS, if you are running ASP.NET and SQL Server then you would want to run Windows.

As for RAM, Harddisk and CPU, this will depend on how big your site is, and the volume of traffic you expect it to receive. You also need to consider what kind of reliability you need. If you need you site to be very reliable then you need to start thinking about things like redundant hard drives or even multiple redundant servers.

Right, and why do they need it

if you are a beginner and have small budget better use hosting from reliable company

basic hardware requirements you can get from software requirements

There is nothing like minimum requirement, even though I will recommend to run a web server with atleast 10 GB of hard drive space or 128 MB of RAM. Also please consider that running a server with low specifications, will make it faster at linux operating system.

Dual-Core 1.6 Ghz or higher.
2 GB RAM.
500 MB free disk space.
