By the way, TheWebHostingHero.com is hosted on a Singlehop server and so far, it’s awesome. Their data center is located in Chicago, which is very central in the US. LEAP control panel is way superior than most others.

Since security is important, I would not look toward shared hosting.I would either go toward a "Managed Windows VPS" or a "Managed Windows Server".With the kind of traffic you expect to get, a dedicated server will probably be a better option since it's more powerful.DedicatedNow and Singlehop are two very good dedicated hosting providers.If your budget permits it, get a Cascade Cloud Server from Singlehop. You will get the best of both worlds (dedicated hardware + scalability and redundancy of cloud hosting).You can use the Singlehop coupon code 'cascade25' to get 25% off the 1st month.

The budgeting mystifies me at this point only because I do not know what my costs are. That is why I’m looking for a cost of hosting such a platform.
Realistically, ten thousand uniques a day.
Yes,security is an issue as this will be a membership service with credit card info.
Yes, ASP will be necessary.
monthly/yearly budgets unknown at this point.

Thanks for your quick response.

@Donald:

- About how many visitors a day do you expect?
- Is security an issue for you?
- Do you need special features such as support for ASP.Net or Coldfusion?
- What would be your ideal monthly / yearly budget approximately?

Hi, I’m planning on building a significantly large website, but I don’t have a lot of capital to work with. Say if I wanted to develop a site that was a review site for doctors all over the world; what do you think my costs (ballpark) would be for hosting? Since we are talking about hundreds of thousands of pages with a sophisticated rating system, would it be plausible to do this via shared, dedicated or cloud-based hosting? Thanks for any response.
