As a webmaster, you also need a web hosting to host your web site.And maybe there are pictures, articles, videos and so on.you use it to show your site,blogs or frums. How much do you need at most? Have you calculate that?

To be honest, what I find is that people don't really seem to calculate what they want. 8 out of 10 people will go for the highest packages available while the other 2 actually choose a low package and then when need to - they upgrade..

Definately find a host that allows you to upgrade if you need to. It makes it so much easier to find a plan that suits you without having to chance paying a lot of unnecessary money

I also choose the smallest package that has all of the features I want. Never yet had a reason to upgrade, and i have a ton of files on my server as "off-site" backups (I get 1.5gig of storage and 80gig of transfer/month with my package).

I look at the website I have coded, purchased, downloaded and see what its using. That usually gives me a the idea of diskspace needed.
You can run a massive website from tiny webspace, I once ran 5 arcade websites with same content, different designs and copy.
This was run on $1 hosting, and the same PHP files that detected the domain used.
I distributed my games,images and template on free hosting. Using PHP's detection if a file exists, if it did not it sent the visitor file request to my slow home server.
... This resulted in High Visitors, Multiple websites promoting each other, $1 cost! ... The same can be done today, or instead of abusing free hosts try a CDN.
The best advice I can provide, its best to underestimate and upgrade. Than overestimate and have a short website lifespan.

Whether you're running a personal site/blog, or (especially) if you are trying to make revenue from a website.
Having minimum outlay is often a key contributor to earning profit.

First it depends on your site content. If you want to add content on a daily basis you need a decent amount of space. If you are not then small space like 1GB is sufficient for you.

The idea of starting with the lowest (but enough for your site)plan and upgrading seems to be the most sound and prevents you from paying extra.

All thing is depend your site content image and videos and email accounts.
if you want daily upload video and image and add content then need higher space.
