I would recommend that he start with a dedicated server. My minimum recommended specification would be a dual core Xeon with 4 gigabytes of RAM and two drives to his size requirements in a RAID 1 (mirroring). If he chose us, I wouldn't put him in less than a quad core Xeon with 8 gigabytes of RAM to avoid fiddling around with the server as traffic grows.
Cheers,
Brad
