Hotsing for a file sharing site : how much space and bandwith i need ?

[chichiko]

hello
I have the intention to creat a file sharing site . but i dont know how much space and bandwth minimum to a succefull site ( I dont think that i can do like megaupload or rapishare ) but i want it to be a modest file sharing site .
Is a paid hosting enought to begin this site or I need to a dedicated hosting ?

about servers what you think thatit is ideal for those type of sites .
and i would like to know if there is any preferable country where it isnt too strict about files sharing ...
thanks to all .

Depends on who your trying to target, what file types? Movies, Images and software. You should get a reseller first, then slowly upgrade and upgrade as your file sharing site gets bigger.

It depends how many users you actually have.

I have a reseller account . when i tried to make a file hosting site . the owner of the server told me to close the site because it make the server slow . due to the Msql connections .:( for this reason i asked you if the normal hosting is enough

i have the intention to put Max sile is 50MB.

I suggest gettign a VPS as you will be using a lot of active connections and resources (cpu wise too).
