How much disk space would be sufficient to handle a small business site of about 30 pages. I have been told 20 MB would do just fine for a normal, basic Website and you definitely would not need Gigabytes of Disk Space, unless you plan to have 100's pages and/or tons of Graphics.

20MB sounds plenty for what you describe. Trouble is, ya never know what tomorrow may bring :)

personally I always look for the best space/bandwidth ratio.

20/5G is a minimum - well depending on what you expect in terms of traffc

As long as you optimize your graphics you should have no trouble getting along with that much. My site has 20 - 25 pages and a moderate amount of graphics and I've been getting by with less than 12 meg for 9 years. Just be sure you delete old stuff regularly.

20MB/5GB sounds good.
Even if you cross the above limit, you could always upgrade. So noworries - choose the basic plan to start with.
