    Image hosting sites consumes a lot of Bandwidth as well as uses high amount of CPU. I don't think that shared hosting can provide you good solution for your site. Why don't you increase your budget and go for a VPS.

    6TB Bandwidth is quite unimaginable because all the standard servers comes highest 2TB Bandwidth per month. If you have an active adult image upload site in other hosting can you provide the details that how much space it is using and per day bandwidth consumption.

    So far I know HostGator Don't allow image hosting sites. Again you should compare their shared hosting and reseller hosting plans of HostGator. It will be helpful for you.

    I am not looking for another reseller that can't offer this. More or less you would have to be your own hosting company and not trying to resell plans to offer something like this.

    That is why I am searching for a new host. I want to start an adult image hosting site and a traffic exchange site.

    As for looking for a VPS, for the website, in due time when profits match the needed bandwidth. It could be months until I see a spike in traffic that will stress the server and by that time I will have a stable enough traffic to give enough profit to justify geting a VPS for a website.

    I don't think that there is a shared option for you. VPS or dedicated for image hosting is the way to go.

    If your requirements are serious, increase your budget by 100 times.

    Yes! No joke at all :)
    You can get a dedicated server with 500GB HDD for almost $150 to $200 per month with 2000GB bandwidth included. To add 4000GB b/w per month add $400/month so it is $550/month to $600/month.


    If you are looking for a reliable hosting come to your actual requirement, don't talk as HostGator and all, this is huge overselling :p

    Yeah there is no way you could get this amount for that price from a company that doesn't massively oversell.

    Feel free to check out the link in my signature.

    If you're actually planning on using 6000GB then don't even think about looking at a shared host. You NEED a dedicated server.
