I am looking for some advice. I am starting a new company and I am
looking for a web hosting site and hopefully a web site
template. The company will be printing images onto hard surfaces.
To do that I need a big pipe for transfer of large (up to 50MB)
images. I do not expect the daily total to be very large, maybe
1-2GB a day. Following are the steps a customer would take:
1) Select a shape for printing. There will be about 10 shapes to
start, and up to 50 sometime in the future.
2) Download a high resolution image.
3) After the image is downloaded, it will be down sampled to about
72 pixels per inch and displayed over the selected selected shape.
4) The user adjusts the size and position of the down sampled image
over the shape. I expect to write this in C and interface to Java.
5) After the customer positions the image, the web application will
prompt for address and payment information.
6) Have the web application check the credit card information and
inform the customer of success or a problem.
The web site will also have examples of finished products, contact
information, order tracking and other common information.
So any suggestion of hosts, HTML templates, banks and whatever I have
forgotten?
Thanks

PS, I like local providers.
