Your question is hard to understand.

Are you asking what you need to do to host your own Bitcoin wallet for a website you run? If so, then if your website is just receiving Bitcoin and not sending, then you can have any desktop wallet on the same server to give out addresses to users. You could use Electrum and create a new wallet on a computer you own that is not connected to the website. Then export the master public key and create a watching only wallet on the website server. This way you can give users addresses but if the server is hacked, you don't risk any coins being stolen.

This, but if u want get bitcoin on ur website as merchant. Check out bitpay website integration or some other. At least 2 well known companies are out there to make receiciving bitcoin payments easy way.
If you want go deeper and make everything urself, u can, but it demand a lot of technical knowledge and is security risk if u don't know what ur doing.

I think you mean not a server, but I guess wallet service provider. With blockchain.info you can make online wallet,pc, and android. And in blockchain.info you can also add them in your website and make your site to accept bitcoin payments maybe. but I do not understand for it, because it's not my area. Thank you

Based on my understanding in order to your question,you need a service provider that can integrate your wallet with your website for trading purpose, right?
for your information you can use bitpay like people mentioned above, or other wallet service like blockchain,info apis or coinbase, for more information just visit their official website or thread here
goodluck

a standard pc will do it just fine, just build it with the usual 4 gb of ram quad core cheap mobo if you don't want to oc and a ssd

bandwidth is important

Your question does not really make sense to me. If your question is how to set up your own bitcoin wallet online on your own server/domain, then it's very technical and i have no idea.

However, if you're just talking about how to set up a bitcoin wallet, then try blockchain.info.
