I did something somewhat retarded I guess and got hosting at godaddy. So I'm looking for a decent web host at a decent price. I looked at nearlyfreespeech and when I get more people on the site and more space to fill up then it gets pretty pricey and I'm looking for something like singlehop where the prices are affordable and the space and bandwidth are just as good. But they have to be able to do adult content, if they can't it's no good and I'm not going to give them my money. Simple as that. I'll check and see if singlehop allows adult content.
I'm kind of a noob to the whole hosting thing and I really have no idea of what I need and when I have to move a step up (in hosting terms). I have around 30 something total boards going up, including notes, and a couple kareha boards with images.
I don't really understand how many people can be on all boards at once untilled I have to go dedicated.
I know I am going to have to sooner or later get a dedicated server, that's not really a question as much as a fact. I just want to put my money in the right hands of someone who isn't going to trip on my scripts and how much space I'm taking up. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to take up that much space either. it's all user generated content any how.
So any suggestions would be helpful.

You aren't going to get more than 10 posts per board in the first year if you start with more than one. It isn't 2007 anymore.
Well I'm going to have a TGP as a side project. I'll have some time to sort through the boards and get my own CSS the way I want it.
I was working on a couple saved pages from sovietrussia.org and iichan but their boards aren't that current. I mean they're older versions of wakaba so figured I should just play around with the newest version of wakaba so I don't fudge something up using an older version.
I still didn't get an answer about how to allow different file types on a board other that the basic jpg, GIF, and PNG. kind of still confused on that front.
I know no one will really care for the first year, I'll do the vps thing and when it comes time then I'll do the dedicated server. I saw that encyclopedia dramatica was down for a little bit and figured I could fill that gap but they came back up a day later. must've just been server issues.
I still have to find out if dreamhost is cool with my über lame TGP.
Well I closed my account with godaddy. I emailed with some dreamhost Rep Guy and we chatted back and forth for some days prior and he told me that if I wanted to have a TGP I'd have to go dedicated and I said OK, let me cancel godaddy first.
So I guess I'm getting a dedicated. That problem is solved for now I guess. I shouldn't have to worry about much in the way of space. I'm so stoked. The only thing I'm not stoked about is that I have to wait for my domain to stop trying to transfer. I called domain and got that all worked out. I just can't wait to plop everything up in a couple days or so.
