1) TGP Rotator has it's own template system or gallery directives. They can look a bit confusing at first, but are in reality quite simple and very configurable.

2) No, it runs fine on virtual accounts. 1 mySQL database and some pretty standard perl modules are required.

3) Hosthead would be a good choice ;)

4) Are you looking at making a thumb or text TGP? Of courset this will depend on the amount of traffic that you have, but typically a virtual is fine for starters. I recommend selecting a host that will let you grow as painlessly as possible... again, hosthead would be a good choice. ;)

Welcome, feel free to hit me up on ICQ to talk more about TGPR or hosting.

Thanks I want to do both text and thumb. How much transferable bandwidth would on need if running a couple tgp sites and a messageboard?

First of all, welcome
2. good choice, TGP Rotator is a great script.
3. start with a small virtual hosting account, upgrade as your site grows (traffic increases)
4. Remember, TGP rotator supports multiple domains, so choose a virtual host that supports multiple domains.
5. Once you are ready for a dedicated server, check out OC3 Networks (great people, great company)
6. traffic for your TGP: http://www.tgpfeeder.com/traffic-brokers/index.php
