Thanks!

I'll handle the crash part of your msg. If it crashes you buy more parts and get a beter dedicated. If it has that much traffic you will be making enough on add revinue to support it aslong as its not a proxy.

Hi there. Starting an online business is as many people say easy as 1... 2... 3... Finding a good hosting company and a company that will help you look big (graphic designs) that is the hard part.

Hosting companies all seem to compete with each other by lowering their prices. Let me say that you can find good, maybe great hosting at very low prices. But these hosting companies are hard to find.

Look Big, Sell Big were the first words I heard from an successful business owner. If you have marketing materials that look amateur, than people might not want to do business.

So that is the advise I can give for now. Hopefully it was/ is helpful.
