You DONT need dedicated for that kind of traffic, just compress the videos or else don't bother hosting them yourself.
Exactly. A dedicated is really not needed.

I estimate your profit monthly to be:
Traffic only: 9,000 [visitors] x 1.5$/1000 [popunder revenue] x 0.6 [adblock correction] = 8.1$
Affiliate revenue: 9,000 [visitors] x 2% [click ratio] x 1/1000 [join ratio] x 30$ = 5.4$
Total: 13.5$

You basically have three options:
1) Fully unmanaged VPS without a panel (you would turn a small profit of maybe 8$)
2) Unmanaged VPS with CPanel or another panel (you would lose 7$)
3) managed VPS with CPanel (you would lose 17$)

(*) I didn't calculate other expenses or potential profit, but it should make it about the same.

These are estimates, but with your traffic if you can't do at least 2, you could be several months in the red while you build your traffic depending on how long it took you to get there.
