At least a VPS to start, but you'll need a dedicated (for the main site or a VPS)+another dedicated (just for images) server soon if you allow hot-linking. A shit load of RAM and processing power and space depends on your image size limits. You'll need a lot of bandwidth. I let users hotlink 10mb images, so that burns a lot of bandwidth when you have 1000's of images that large hot-linked at once. Uses a lot of resources.

When imgkeep was at a peak it was pushing over 120tb/mo, then I just got too busy and results dropped a lot, but, stayed around 90tb. Now it is picking back up again a lot since the file host it shares its servers with did some major upgrades.

So end story: costs a lot to run. You will not make enough to cover the costs. That's why most close down. I run it out of pocket just to give users a stable image host.
