ok...i'm having a site developed which i need to host. i'm expecting to have about 20000 uniques a month to start.

i also need the ability to be able to send thousands of emails a month to my subscribers. I have the software end of everything handled but i know almost nothing about the specs on buying your own server. I've always gone through shared servers for previous projects so getting my own dedicated server is new to me.

to sum up i need basic hosting that can handle moderate to high traffic and a server that can handle large mailings.

can anyone at least point me in the right direction? any info would be much appreciated.

GoDaddy.com is high volume and has hosting plans as well.

Good Luck!
