[dba-VB] ASP.NET site "hungry" for disk space and traffic...

Hi All,

 

I'm working here on an ASP.NET project (real estate related), which
potentially could get allocated 500GB of hard disk space, and could have
200-400GB traffic per month: this site is planned to store pictures and
video clips. I'm wondering what hosting option is the most appropriate
(/less expensive) for such an application? I guess that should be a physical
PC (or even two - second as a media stream server) installed on ISP side, or
are there any virtual hosting available for ASP.NET application under
development, which will cost within, say, USD300/month for 500GB disk space
and 200-400GB of traffic per month? 

 

I thought I could "split" my application to have program and database part
running on relatively inexpensive ASP.NET hosting site, and pictures and
video clips stored on another (virtual) server, and uploaded and
downloaded/transmitted from there - AFAIU in that latter case of using a
separate server for pictures/videos the traffic for their transmission to
the user will not be accounted as part of traffic of my ASP.NET site? 

 

Thank you.
