    If you want to do something serious image hosting, get a dedi box on 100Mbps port to start with.

    yeah, you absolutely need a dedicated box because you will sooner or later will be kicked of shared hosting and it's not going to be to pretty moving gig's and gig's of images over.

    my image host uses up about 40gig a day and it's rising at a very fast rate, i have no limits on bandwidth for my users but i do limit image size at about 3mb.

    Get a dedicated box. You'll surely use lots of resources in no amount of time and thus, kicked from shared or reseller or vps in no amount of time ;)
