looking for host advice (no host people)

I will never host anyplace else

Unfortunately, I need Windows+MS SQL Server 2000 as my apps are .NET based.

This narrows my host options down quite a bit.

BTW, I have 5,505 pics...698MB...68 picture sets.

I purchased content with niches/fetishes in mind to promote instead of going for just what turns me on.

Some sets overlap in niches/fetishes and I will probably edit down sets of redundant pics.

Since this will be a FREE site initially, I wonder if I am giving away too much. OTOH, with each set I can promote a different site, potentially leading to more sales.

Even with HTTP Compression (it's mostly JPG bandwidth, but every bit counts) and hotlink protection I'm concerned about bandwidth/speed issues.

I think I can leave out 30% or so of all the content I have without degrading the spectrum of possible sales.

Guess I'll just post a request here after I get a rough draft of the site done to ask for opinions.

PS- I'm still looking for a Puffy Nipples site to promote and haven't come across much of anything. This is really surprising since the OV Suggestion Tool gives pretty good numbers for 'puffy nipples'.
