specific bandwidth questions - general help
 

After searching through some posts on this subject I couldn't find a satisfying amount of info so heres my post: http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif
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!

Also can anyone tell me what is a good transfer rate to have for TGP gallery purposes?

do u know how to admin a freebsd server or any *nix based servers? if so get a co location server or deciated server

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.
