    You could use a very large shared account or VPS, but if you could afford it I'd suggest going with a low end dedicated server.

    The database is pretty large so I would suggest a high-end VPS or low-end dedicated server.

    Check out www.powervps.com for VPSes.

    If you want a low-end dedicated server check out www.layeredtech.com. I personally recommend the Power-2 cPanel VPS from PowerVPS.

    i would recomend a dedciated server over a VMS - better control
    i would also recommend paying a little extra and get some management and spam and anti virus protection ..
    maybe create a VIP program for members to pay you a little and pay for the server

    dominator,

    Why pay a little extra for opensource?
    Although in this case: management looks as if it will be required.
