Bandwith

How to determine need

[sandrab]

I'm looking for a new Host and need to have some idea of how much bandwith I will need. How do I determine it? I cuurently have 10 Pages on aol's Hometown and will probably need to add a few more.

Ummm - total page weight in K * total page views per day.

If you don't have that info, there is no way to determine it.

If you have multimedia files (audio, video, flash, etc) that'll eat up bandwidth pretty fast, so don't forget to account for that.

And, say you determine that you'll probably use about 5gb/month, then think a little bigger so that you can have room to expand. Look for something with 10gb or 20gb bandwidth/month.
