Hi guys anybody know on average if people let's say about "100" visit your site off and on through day, about how many gig or mb would be used per day or month?? Is 4000mb/month sufficent for a personal site???

Thanks

I there,

I would say, from my personal and business experience that most of personal sites, even with galleries on them will eat up probably not more than 1-2GB per month and this seems to be an average.

It all depends on the type of site you have and the kind of files you have.

For example- each "hit" to your web page uses some bandwidth. If you have a 10 KB web page with 3 8 KB images, you have used 34 KB of bandwidth with that visit. If 100 People visit that page, you have used 3400 KB of bandwidth (~ 34 MB).

This same process repeats for each page they access on your site. However, there is some good news; usually, browsers cache the page data, so when they visit the same page again that probably won't use up as much bandwidth.

If you are offering downloads for music or other large files, then you are going to consume a lot more bandwidth than with just static HTML pages. Hope this made sense!

I would say you would have plenty of bandwidth. I have a website which has large pictures and text and last month I averaged a thousand visitors a day and only needed a gig of bandwidth so 4 gig should be plenty ............ but don't quote me !
