It depends what kind of information you want to sell.
If you want to make a site that presents pictures, sound and video, 20 MB
for each account might not be enough.
If you want to calculate the cost, you need to estimate how much time will
need the web designers and web programmers to work in order to finish that
site, then see how much you need to pay for their salaries, then calculate
other possible administrative and maintnance costs, plus the costs needed to
host your own servers.
If you want to have a big site like those you told about, it might involve
tens of servers that do load balancing and maybe servers for hosting a
database.
I suggest to not start thinking that the site will have so many visitors
from the beginning because it wioll cost too much.
If you do really think that the site will be a success, then find a web
hosting provider that offers you your own virtual server and in that case
you will be able to do everything you want on it.
The technology is not so important at this step. Start first finding the
programmers/web designers you want to work with, and see what they know the
best. If they know better PHP, go with PHP. If they know better Perl or
Ruby, or Python, go with those.
It doesn't matter so much as long as you don't want to be involved in the
technical part anyway.

Subject: Information Request for Web design web site Creation Costs
Hi all,
I've been tossing around the idea of starting a web based business. I'm
not interested in selling any merchandise as I am already swamped here at
work, but I am interested in selling information. does anyone know if
there exists any means of measuring costs in terms of an internet based
business? That is, I'm, at this point, requesting information on the costs
involved in hiring a web designer/web master to build me a website to my
specifications. I guess I'm asking what kind of money can I expect to have
to dol out.
Some preliminary parameters:
1. I want the bandwidth to handle as many people on the site as let's say
a my space or facebook.
2. I want to give each user about 20 megs of free space
3. I'm going to need a method of tracking information for all these
accounts
I've been tracking the various topics and discussions regarding
programming and website production for the last few months and have
decided it would take me way too long to learn as much as many of you out
there, so I have almost completely concluded that simply hiring someone to
do the tough programming and coding stuff would probably yield the biggest
bang for my buck as well as leaving me time to focus on those aspects of
business which I am much more comfortable taking chances on. With that
said, absolutely any and all information is humbly requested and very much
appreciated!
Sincerely,
Matthew
