Drew Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I was woundering what or how much is 300mb for disc space and tranfers. Could I get a example? ~Drew Quote
youneverknow Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I"M just guessing here but I think Drew knows the prices and is asking how many web pages can you host and how much traffic you can get to not exceed the 300mb limit. This is a hard question to answer...is say a 15 page web site with an average of say 150k each page and X number of people visit what would that number be?. That also does not factor in emails, ftp and other factors. It would be cool to see a chart or something that shows just how far 300mb goes. Is there a formula or worksheet to configure this? :Nerd: youneverknow Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 youneverknow, I think you are correct. Sorry Drew. And also welcome to the family. It would be difficult to say how far 300mb would go. It depends on multiple factors. First factor all of your web pages and images. Then if you are running a forum you would have to factor that in. Any other MySql databases, cgi scripts, php scripts, amount of email being stored on the server, etc... And bandwidth would include all ftp, web access (how popular is your website? do you offer downloads? etc) and email in and out. Quote
ThumpAZ Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Like has been said, it is very difficult to figure out properly. You can analyze it a little better from previous stats files if you have hosted the site before. If not, it can be a shot in the dark. It is like saying you have a car leaving Atlanta at 4PM, when will the guy walking down the street need to get some food? There is simply not enough information to properly answer the question. YNK, I have never seen template or anything for figuring this type of thing out. Most times you just look at your history and take that into account. Sorry that I couldn't help ya on this one. However, a 300MB site is decent for a personal site, as long as you optimiae your graphics and do not try to use anything crazy like a lots of scripts or host a lot of video/audio files. On my average, a personal website will consume about 50MB for 5-10 normal pages. And the 5.5GB of transfer will work well as long as you don't try to promote the site with Slashdot.com. Tht plan should more than suffice you for a personal web site. Watch your stored email, though. I would recommend downloading any attachments you want to keep and deleting the emails to keep space consumed to a minimum. A great way to do this is to use a true SMTP client like Outlook Express or comparable program for your operating system. Using an IMAP client does not remove the mail from the server, keep that in mind. Welcome to the family! -GG Quote
TCH-Rob Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I have the 300 MB plan. I have an online store with over 1500 items, each has its own page with images. I still have 176.11 Megabytes left. It will be fine for most personal sites. Quote
