specific bandwidth questions - general help - GoFuckYourself.com

After searching through some posts on this subject I couldn't find a satisfying amount of info so heres my post:

I've never dealt with bandwidth before, and I'm sick of all the shit I get from freehosts with TGP's, and I'm looking for my own hosting.
Pretty much what I'm planning to do is run a site like sleazydream.com. This guy submits 2 galleries a day to TGPs all over the place, and I always see him listed near the top.
- Here's an example gallery:

Any idea how much bandwidth something like this would burn for say.... 500,000K uniques from your average TGP surfer???

- Let me word this into a specific question, what host would you recommend to use for HEAVY tgp traffic all things considered?

Your help always appreciated, thanks!

You can go dedicated even if you dont know how to admin your own server. If you want a seriously fast server and are going to push a lot of TGP traffic, dedicated really is the best way to go. Email me [email protected] or icq me 14456985 and I might be able to help you out.
