This is a great tut! Thanks ZZ for taking the time to write it!

Now for my question...what's the minimum server requirements needed to run a thumb TGP or thumb MGP using sponsor hosted (or FHGs, whichever you want to call them) and/or partner submitted galleries (either way the links are hosted off my server)?
LelaHosting has some great virtual hosting deals and so does HighCountryHosting ...but i'm not sure of what i'm going to need as far bandwidth transfer...20 gigs too low?

I'm thinking somewhere between 50 -100 gigs?

75% is going to be sponsor hosted galleries and 25% partner submits.

I also want to have one using 100% sponsor hosted galls.

I'm leaning towards HCH because they'll install Comus and TTT for me...thus saving me the trouble of that hurdle.

so to summarize, i just need to know:

What's the minimum server requirements (disc space, bandwidth transfer amount, speed and etc.) needed for a TGP or an MGP just starting up?

I have no idea where to start as far as paid hosting needs...i've been using freehosts since day one and i'd rather be on a more reliable server and paid is definetly better supported than a free one.

My apologies if i'm rambling.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
