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.
