question about what kind of server and how much it would be - GoFuckYourself.com

ok im in the process of writing a scraper to scrape tube sites, but currently i only have a semi-dedicated server. I know I will have to get a dedicated server when i get my new sites up, but i have no idea what kind of server I would need so I was hoping someone here might help me put it into perspective so I have a question. Since my scraper isnt going to embed videos, it will just scrape the thumbnails and send the traffic to where the video is, these 2 sites are very similiar to what my finished product will look like lemmingtube.com and also mackstube.com, lemmingtube is 11,000 alexa and mackstube 3,000, so they also get about as much traffic as I would hope to also ;-) if i owned one of those websites, what kind of server would be ideal, and what is a rough monthly estimate of what you think it might cost? thanks everybody in advance.
