Anybody have any experience with and/or recommendations for a hosting company that offers like 5GB range worth of space?
I'm working on a site that will be very very heavy imagery wise (large database of images), and I'm new to this level hosting...
Should I be looking at setting up our own server for the site? Dedicated hosting? Are there services that are easily scalable, like so I could start with 2GB and scale up as needed?
Cost is not a major issue...any ideas?

5GB of HD space is nothing. i don't think i know of a single host that does not provide at *least* that for basic packages.
now, free hosts on the other hand are another story...

ok good – I've never used anything bigger than like 500MB for my little informational web projects.
the thing is, I don't need 200 emails or ecommerce or any of that shit. just 5GB+, scalable, with PHP and MySQL support. any recommendations?

check out Dreamhost, they bump up their disk space every month:

great, thanks for the recommendations. and now that I'm looking at bigger plans, I think it's safe to say that there's nothing MEGA about 5GB. doh.
Dreamhost looks like a good option for me...how's their service?

i used dreamhost for ~85% of all my projects. but for slightly more (~$10US/month) and striped down service; http://www.phpwebhosting.com
off hand, you are probably only going to find packages w/ email + unless you troll some LAMP boards and some people there promote stripped down hosting services for less.
