i would recommend against putting a paysite on the same server as a tgp. 'don't shit where you eat'...



=======
good advice, the TGP traffic will easily exceed your paysite traffic---but it is the paysite traffic that is buying the memberships; and if the paysite connectivity is compromised in ANY way you will be stepping on your dick.

best way i believe---

get cheap ass virtual hosting for TGP galleries, and the best paysite connectivity you can buy. (which will cost triple what the cheapest TGP hosting will cost)

when choosing hosts do international ping/traceroute timing tests to see who is fastest---you paysite visitor section MUST load as fast as possible.

make sure your host is not blocked on some networks because they host email spammers; some are, and only traceroutes will show it.

then buy an ass-kickin box--lotsa RAM, scsi, RAID and dual processor minimum for your paysites

i'm not an expert, just know what works for me.
