Router

You will need a router that supports port forwarding to allow traffic from outside the internet to be routed to your server. Routers with QoS (Quality of Service) can allow you to give priority to your server.  Some modern routers offer VPN server and Dynamic DNS capabilities built-in.

The router rented or purchased from your internet service provider may limit access to port forwarding for port 80 and port 443 which are required for hosting a secure web server.  In this case, you may be required to replace your router with one purchased independently.
