Hey all, just wondering, I don't want any of my stuff hosted, I want to host this shit from my house. It isn't for SA-MP...
I would at least want a server that can hold 200GB storage.

So you just want to buy hardware? Find the cheapest computer you can. SA-MP servers can run on anything. (oops)

Well, Im planning on running this at my dads house, and he has this new Verizon FiOS hookup that gives him 10MBps. Great for hosting I guess.
Upload speed, I am not sure about

No, no no, its nothing to do with "your" download speed. It's got to do with your "upload" speed. People will be connecting to "you" not you connecting to them, so "your" download speed is useless, you could have a 1kpbs download speed and it would be the same.
What matters here is your "upload" speeds. You will need upload speeds of around 15-20MBPS to run a decent SA-MP server with around 30-40 players.
And upload speeds cost a fortune if you was to request it custom from any ISP, the only best ones I know are Verizon, even though your with them, you need to request the other package that gives you around 50mbps upload speeds, which will host a few SA-MP servers lag free.
Hope this helps.

Put it this way, it’s like when using a Torrent program, and you set your "upload" speeds so people can connect to you and get information from you at specific speeds correct? Well, this is the same with server hosting, it’s not the speed that comes to "you" it’s the speeds that you send out.
Hope this helps.
