I would recommend getting a dedicated server with 500 GB bandwidth/mo to start. The server all depends on what language you will be developing in. PHP, .NET, Rails, etc.

You should be fine with this to start and if bandwith is a problem that means there is a ton of traffic and file transferring, which is a good thing.

thanks for the help just as i was told this

Web space: 1000MB
Bandwith: 6GB
Speed: More than enough to be able to handle all the traffic and bidding required

which i think seams a lot different lol as i think they just want my business thanks

after the site is built does the site belong to me or does it some how belong to the designers

thank you for your help

woah!

start off with shared hosting otherwise you're going to be spending more than you're making, then migrate to [semi]dedicated when you need to; you aren't going to be getting a lot of traffic initially.

you obviously don't have the knowledge (assumed from your post, not meant offensively!) to manage a dedicated box yourself so that means even greater expense… ok once the money is rolling in but until then…

if you are having the site created by a third party it's yours if you pay for it, simple as that.

arse holdings, made my day
