    If one was to go about creating a filesharing type of site. What requirements are needed with hosting? You will need a very large hosting wouldn't you? Does anyone know how much it cost for hosting for a filesharing type of website?

    You'll need a dedicated server for it :)

    Yes...you need a dedicated server to host filesharing website. Hostgator have some cool advance features I saw there. May be you can find a solution there.

    Depending on what files you are sharing, you should be more concerned that what you're doing it legal (or is being operated from a country where it is).

    For starting, a VPS will be sufficient.

    But you need a offshore VPS coz to prevent shutdown by hosting provider.

    50GB space
    800GB bandwidth is sufficient for startup.
