Ok, Im planning on opening up a Free Image Hosting site, and I was wondering weather you could tell me if this is a good amount of space to host it on, if not then what is. I found a good reliable host and for their cheapest plan they offer 700 mb space and 5000 mb bandwidth. Thanks |

If you are going to offer free hosting, 700mb is going to go quick... If you want to get series about this, you need to have your own servers. |

Decide how much your going to give out. That will go fast like the other guys said. I have a friend who has a server from surpass and they say its great. shop around for your own server and go from there. I would also study mysql and such so if people get stuck you can respond quickly. |

Do yourself a favor, larger plan is better. 700 will go quick. Look at plans in the gigabytes. PM me if you want a quote for a larger plan. |

Why not just jump straight onto a VPS? then if you grow quickly it's easy to transfer to a cheap dedi... |

Agreed. Your going to run into resource problems with your host quickly if you run on a shared host. |
