Servers will wear SSDs out fairly fast if say its a Minecraft server or such, the constant reading and writing it does. As well you will not really see a performance difference if a game server.

Would I see a different and would I be able to host more players If I upgrade my Motherboard, processor, and RAM?
My MB, Processor, and RAM suck right now, 2.2GHz, and 5GB ram
If its only using download bandwidth then it should not cause a major issue. How many players is your server set to currently?
Maximum of 25 players on at once. At around 10 players monsterns lag and there is a little lag here an there.
3 GB Ram Deticated to the server, but when I do /memory it never really reaches the limit, unless like 20 people are online doing a ton of stuff.
When I upgrade my PC I will have like a 3.3 GHz intel processor, a solid new Motherboard, and about 8 GB og RAM, maybe 5-6 deticated to the server.
When I had 4 gigs of ram I found minecraft unplayable if I played on the same computer I ran the server on, with just 1 other play besides myself connecting. Of course, this was with the tekkit mod pack which uses much more ram than the average minecraft game.
I'm not an expert on minecraft servers but I think ram is the most important component.
BTW, you cannot rely on speed tests to determine your comcast connection speed if your comcast is using power boost. Comcast does this thing called "power boost" where they boost your speed for the first ~2 minutes or so of a download and upload. This is so the average user who only downloads every now and then, and people running speed tests, will see amazing 25mbps+ speeds. But over extended use it will gradually drop to your "true" speed, which is probably less than half the power boosted speed.

I am 16, so I don't pay for the internet, but I was tlaking with my Dad, and he said just last month be bought the fastest spee dpossible from comcast.
Is there a way to increase my upload speed? And how come some servers can hold about 100 players, what kind of internet are they using besides the fastest available from comcast?

No there is no way to increase speeds other than getting a better internet plan.
Better internet is not available in all areas. You are pretty much stuck with what you have. This is why most people use a hosting company of some sort.
You would need to check if better internet such as FiOS is available in your area, or do further research.

And Is it true my PC is sort of locked in to 36 people?

Would having 6 browser tabs open, itunes, steam, and my server running affect the speeds?

36 players max.. really? What is preventing more? Im on Windows 7
The server overall is not laggy, besides mobs, they lag pretty bad.

This is why most people for servers that have over 10 people use a hosting service.

On average, how much would it cost be to get my server hosted for maybe 60 slots?
