most probably your host wont allow u to start such a website on shared so u have to take a vps or dedi lol

[desiboy]

you should probably get a cloud if you are serious about file hosting..1 server is not enough

No i meant if i dont use vps for the front end and use dedicated server from the start...will this affect the site ?

It will not affect the site.You will need a high speed connection (1 GBPS) for a file hosting site.

it wont at the start because you will have few users but its good for when you start to expand. you dont want users complaining about speed when it starts to get popular because you crammed everything in 1 server.

also make sure you have a good uplink, at least a 1gbit line.

I don't see how you could run a decent file hosting site on anything other than a multiple server setup with at least a gigabit line, i mean your not gonna get anyone using you if you can't guarantee decent download/upload speeds that are consistant. I run a streaming porn site off one server at the moment and with barely 10k/day it uses 1tb/day bandwidth and gets hammered, so imagine what a file hosting site will be like.

and how much will a 1gbps cost like?
