    With something like that, you will want a VPS to start off with. If all goes well, you start making money, you could get a Dedicated Server.

    How much do you want to spend?

    File hosting is not that process intensive as websites. Every web hosting providers gives you FTP account, unlimited bandwidth. Simple coding work in your website will take care of file sharing.

    Whatever you choose, when it comes to File Hosting, know that a dedicated server is the only real guaranteed option for success. Anything less than that means overloaded servers, cancellations, angry customers, angry host, etc.
