I want to create a warez-linking website to post Comics.
I will post maximum of 200 Comics per month.

I will attach a Comic cover and give links (on file hosts like uploaded, depositfiles etc) to download Comics on per Comics page.

My website will have following features:
=> Registration
=> Allow members to post Comics.
=> Allow members to comment.

Lets say, Both members and me will post combined of 500 Comics.
My daily pageviews will be 25000-30000 (Currently I got 20000-25000 pageviews on my blogspot blog per day)

So, how much disk space and monthly bandwidth I need to run the site smoothly and without any problem.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Disk space shouldn't be an issue for you.
You might however want to consider at least 50gb or more bandwidth (considering your each page amounts to 44kb).
It mostly depends on your site theme, images used and as such.
 
As you are looking to start a new comics website .

Then you can go with just a shared hosting with around 10GB Space and 100-200GB Bandwidth would be enough.. As you wont be hosting comics images on the website . They are just linked to filehosts ..

Even though you will advertise heavily . To reach 20k-30k genuine visits per day . You need atleast minimum 3 months .

Once you reach this stage , then you can look into going with VPS , aleast with 100Mbps Unmetered bandwidth . Still with not much space .

Hope this might be helpful ..

When you say that, already you have blogspot with such good high traffic . Then i would suggest go with good VPS provider who does not oversell their resource . VPS provider with unmetered bandwidth would be good for you.. As you can enjoy website uptime without hiccups.

As you will be having Wordpress with caching modules etc ..

Another way would be .. Just redirect your domain to blogspot ..Saving hosting funds .. But anytime blogspot might remove your blog .. Due to linking thing.

I think I should start with shared hosting and if I got any problem then I will move to VPS.
One of the noble member on WJ told me that there is not so much diff. b/w shared and vps but there is charge for using cpanel per month.

PS: Do cpanel also come as a software? (to install in your pc and login using username and password)
 
You'll need to pay separately for a cPanel license if you're getting a VPS, but you can use Kloxo as an alternative to cPanel which is free.

That noble man also told me that Kloxo is shit :-=
But the question still remains, do cpanel also comes as a software?

a VPS is like a server. You only get SSH access. You will need to install cPanel which costs $15/mo or get Kloxo which is free but works like shit. If you don't know how to manage it you will need to hire someone.

Your site is too big for shared hosting I think.

Cpanel needs a publicly visible IP Address to work. As internal ip's won't function with the licensing software.

Below in the quote is what I took from cpanel's website.

Source: https://store.cpanel.net/help/

cPanel/WHM requires a publicly visible IP address to function properly. Your hosting provider or data center can assign public IP address for use with licensing directly. Dynamic, sticky, or internal IP address will not function with the cPanel/WHM licensing software.

With that many pageviews, You don't need to go for a VPS & waste money before knowing what you're actually dealing with.
In many cases your shared hosting will perform better than your VPS because of better configuration & resource allocation. I assume you're a beginner with hosting, So buying & setting up a VPS will be a headache for you. Make your work easy & spend accordingly!
You can go with a starter plan of any shared hosting provider & Upgrade IF Required in future. :)
