Provided that you can afford it, the best solution will be to have
a dedicated server, i.e. get a PC which will not need to be upgraded
or modified as long as your mailing lists work well. This server can
be located in the offices of some ISP where it'll profit from their
excellent internet connection.

You can protect your server from the risk of hard disk failures by
using a method called RAID. This is short for "Redundant Array of
Inexpensive Disks", and in addition to protecting you from data loss
in increases performance. This does not require any expensive hard-
or software. Simply get a modern PC with several hard disks and run
Linux, see http://linas.org/linux/raid.html for details. (I would
suggest software RAID 1.)

Then hire a competent person to set up your mailing list(s) with
archives, etc., exactly like you want them.

Of course, all of this costs money... much more than what many ISPs
charge for hosting a few mailing lists. But the solutions which they
offer, while good enough for many purposes, will not be the 'best
solutions' about which you have been asking.

May blessings from the eternal God surprise and overtake you!
