Major space hosting for small money?

[Emsterdad]

I have an idea for a business that requires quite sizable hosting space and transfer. What im wondering is if anyone knows of companies that offer lets say: 20TB or more file-space, and 200tb monthly transfer monthly for a decent price?

200TB? You realize thats youtube levels right?
And 20TB of storage?

If you need that much storage/bandwidth you will be getting your own cage at a datacenter and your own pipes.

Youtube was paying $1 million a month when they were at that size for bandwidth charges alone.

I don't know what you're planning on doing but whatever it is you won't be using the same amount of bandwidth and storage as youtube for a long time so start small and scale.

Emsterdad; what do you mean by "decent price"? Are you trying to validate a business concept by seeing how much it would cost? I think San's response was a bit too harsh, but he is right in that you certainly won't have to worry about 1G, let alone 200TB of traffic until your site is established..

Emster: Don't you mean GB, not TB?

[Emsterdad]

He he, from the answers it seems like maybe i have overestimated the bandwidth/storage needs a little.

Gimme an hour and ill come back with non-youtube levels...
