Okay basically, I want to know some details about how much it would cost to buy a web server for what I want to do.The site we're making is going to accept uploads from users. A LOT of uploads. How much is this really going to cost in server space? Videos, Pictures, Audio, everything. And how easy/expensive is it to increase server space/speed to handle all of these concurrent uploads happening.I really have no idea where to start with this, haven't been a webmaster before =/

You might want to start by looking at Amazon S3 as an option for your data storage rather than storing it on your own servers.There are many hosting companies that say they offer unlimited storage, but if you start filling up a server with terabytes of data, I can pretty much guarantee they are going to shut you down.
