Need a suggestion?

Hi,
I have few myths that i want clarity about.
1.How much bandwidth can 2GB ram server provide.Means how many hits can i get in one minute or day ?
2.I m confused about VPS or cloud server of hostgator?.Which is better for more hits a a day.
3.I m thinking about creating affiliate account with hostagator then signup with my refferal will cost me 60$ a year.
Is this good ?

1. That really depends on how good the software operating your website is coded. You can have a site hitting 1 million visits a day and working just fine, and 1000 visits a day and your server crashes..

2. I never tried cloud, just sticking to VPSes and dedicated boxes..

3. You can't signup under your referral, your commission will be removed. That is valid for any affiliate program
