DJ/Remixer (eyeing SharkSpace And IMountain)

I am a music producer who will need hosting for my official site, music files playing off links from my myspace page, podcasts, downloadable mp3's/DJ promo MP3's, flash movies/animated gifs. It might even be a Flash Site altogether. I will also probably want to have an artist design me a whole new myspace page that will have flash movies in the design, and will look like a totally independent web page. I'll want things like a section on my myspace for my "Top Tracks" in my current DJ sets that would play (clips) by clicking on them (even though they'd be hosted on my server space), and probably doing things like that, where I'd post files in other places (Facebook, etc). All the myspace artwork, banners, files, etc. will need a host.

I will also be planning on utilizing email for marketing purposes, and will be building a never-endingly lengthy email list.

Later down the road, I do see myself creating a company (already have the domains purchased), that will involve commerce (paying for mp3's etc.), and possibly a "community environment" that would involve profiles, interaction, etc. But that's, indeed, step 2 (I'm sure my life will involve a dedicated server at some point).

I definitely want speed! I've seen some music artists with the overhauled myspace pages that look like websites, and it takes forever for the page to load... I'm thinking "great design, slow host".

I do see 2 companies, SharkSpace and iMountain, that have impressed me with their primarily positive reviews. Many people say (about iMountain) "Oh their servers are FAST!", but I don't see any actual stats on bandwidth. And they're not cheap. Also, all of the "featured sites" on their site seem to be nothing "dynamic".... just some blogs. SharkSpace has their bandwidth (data transfer) listed as "1TB (1,000,000MB)", which I'm not sure tells me the "bandwidth", just the monthly transfer limit? They do have the 50% off specials I see on here

Do I need any type of "specialized market" host company? Do some hosts do better with Flash? It seems whenever I look at examples of websites using any host I read about, it's like a quiet website where someone posted some jpgs and a bio. I'm guessing my needs will be more than that.

I'd estimate my site and myspace will have about 100 people coming to each a day (I do have fans, just not a site.) I should be about to achieve about 100 visitors/day on my site (about 200 plays/day on my "myspace player", so I'm guessing when people get to my "DJ section" those hosted-clips could get around 200 plays/day as well).
