40,000 Uniques on video streaming site, How much cost to expect?

[pixelwise]

Hello to all v7n members...

I am new member and I am very interested in creating a video streaming site.. The dillema that I currently have is the cost of the dedicated server and bandwidth and if the revenue is enough to handle that cost and the time spent on developing and growing the site...

Do you guys have any idea on how much should I expect for the server cost and bandwidth cost if I am getting about 40,000 uniques per day? If each one unique consumes about 15-25 Mb per day.

I am worrying that the server cost maybe much more than how much I would earn through adsense etc..

It would also be great if you can recommend any dedicated hosting that is reliable which can handle that traffic.

Thank you in advance =)

400 GB per-day is a lot to expect.. do you get that mcuh already or are you hoping to do that?

ThePlanet.com SoftLayer.com ServerBeach.com are great server places but for that kind of BW expect to pay a lot.

any idea how much? I have some sites doing about 20K uniques per day.. This site is bigger and not limited to a certain niche, so i expect at least a double in traffic.


thanks for the reply..
