Hello, first time poster here with a few questions.
I've done a lot of research on community building .I've even know which to use, but I 'm confused on the web hosting thing. I want to offer blogs, about 10-20 flash games, an upload of about 1 mb of images( is that too little or what?) private messaging, maybe classifies, no downloads, no forum (should I reconsider this part?) can a shared host be used?

well i have about 30-50 arcade games on my site i offer members 2mb of upload space for pictures and a crap load of other features and im gonna hold 2 giveaways a month for my members my site has been opened 2 weeks i have about 40-50 members already not sure how many altogether but the road for success is coming along ok

that's cool. I hope to join the community path soon. are you using a shared host? and do flash games cause any slow downs? I'm new at this. and keep up the pace with your site!

yes i am on a shared host and no its not slow at all yet but as soon as i get enough members im gonna switch quickly i hope to have a thousand or more members by june the best way is always have new post to respond to thats all i do start a thread you know will spark controversy but make sure you dont allow mebers to attack other members
