A general question...
Hello there,
6 GigaBytes of transfer is enough for a 30K page that gets 10,000 visitors a day?
And another question, are the 6 GigaBytes for all the pages, or just for this particular page? And...if it's not enough, what is enough for this kind of site?
Thanks very much

OK, here comes some math
1,024 MB = 1 GB
1,024 KB = 1 MB
So, your page isn't a lot (in fact, it is about the average size of a Web page). At 10,000 visitors a day, that is 8.58 GB of traffic a month (see math below). So, to answer your first question, no, 6 GB isn't enough.
Math for transfer:
30 (size of file) X 10,000 (number of requests for the file per day) X 30 (average days per month) = The bandwidth requirments for your site in Kilobytes. Now, to make that GB, you need to divide by 1,024 twice (big number/1024/1024 = GB of bandwidth required).
Now, for your second question, that is _only_ for that one page. I don't know if your 30KB figure includes the graphics that that page will call or not but each graphic is going to take bandwidth and each of your additional pages is going to take bandwidth. At 10,000 hits per day, I think you should probably be looking at upwards of at least 20 GB per month in a hosting package.
Hope all of that made sense
