What's the maximum and minimum width and height for a page and what do you guys recommend?

940x4000 px, I recommend 72 DPI resolution.

What @CyndiFoster said! However, you probably want to draw at a larger size/higher resolution than that, and then resize it down to fit those limits.

I usually draw on simple A4 format, 300dpi (that would be 2480x3508 px). Later I resize it in Photoshop, the quality loss is the smallest, don't recommend irfanview for cropping :/
However I'm considering to draw on higher resolution.

Yeah, 300-600 DPI is perfect for printing your comic however online posting a 600 dpi image isn't ideal since it's a larger image file and if the image is stolen you're given the thief printable files. Smaller images = faster loading time = good

Also there's no visual difference between posting a 72 dpi image and a 600 dpi image.
Web browsers show the ACTUAL pixels and the DPI is nothing more than an instruction that is used when an image is printed. A web browser doesn't care and just displays the image at screen resolution - usually 72-96dpi.

So it's good to create in high resolution and resize for the web when you're ready to post online
