It's called a crisp because it's crispy (at least to my knowledge).
I'm using my old desktop from 2010. There's no such thing as a server that can "do it all", but any computer from the last 10 years would probably be a fine place to start. The more you do, the more likely you'll be to hit some sort of performance limit, and by that time you'll know more about what you actually want.
In short, find old cheap/free hardware and start playing around.
One thing to understand about web design is that there can be multiple pieces, depending on what you need the site to do.
At the least, you'll need to learn about HTML and CSS - this is the basic structure of how web pages are presented. In theory, a very simple website can just use these two.
It's also common to integrate Javascript, for things like dynamic actions on the page that can't be handled by the HTML/CSS (once you learn those two, you'll have a better idea of their limitations and what JS can do for you).
All of those three (HTML/CSS/JS) are "front-end", which means they all do things in the user's browser. You can also add "back-end" components, which run on another computer on the internet, and often generate some of the HTML. This includes languages like PHP, Python, Ruby, and Javascript (yeah, it can be used here too, which can be confusing). Back-end components are for things like databases.
If this is all new, I recommend looking at freecodecamp.org - they have a great program that goes through each of these pieces in a logical order.
It's almost like multiple types of food can have a brittle texture...
As opposed to the UK, where a crisp is a chip and a chip is a fry.

I'm really not a fan of those bloated Javascript frameworks, so I guess I wouldn't.
