Hi All,

   I came across this article the another day, and
throught that you all might find it useful, as well
:))

The average web site contains a mix of text and images
throughout its pages, and may or may not offer files
for download. The average web site also gets average
traffic, meaning anywhere from 50-500 visitors per
day. Assuming these factors, a hosting plan with
anywhere from 3-5 gigabytes (GB) of data transfer per
month should suffice. For sites that get more than 500
visitors per day, or those that offer numerous large
files for download, it may be wise to secure a hosting
plan with 50 gigabytes of data transfer per month - or
more. It is important to note that most web hosts
quote your allotted bandwidth in "per month" terms,
when in fact that number is actually broken down to a
"per day" limit.

For example: one web site of mine has 125GB of
allotted bandwidth/data transfer per month. Sounds
like a lot doesn't it? It is. However, in reality that
equates to about 4.2GB of bandwidth per day. One day,
several months ago, I made a large (12 megabyte) video
available for download on this web site. It received
over 400 downloads within the first two hours! That
amounted to 4800 megabytes (MB) of data transfer, or
4.8 gigabytes. You guessed it, I exceeded my daily
bandwidth allowance and my site was disabled for 24
hours. Lesson learned? Either order more bandwidth or
adjust my web site content to fall within my bandwidth
limitations. Not wanting to pony up the dough and
purchase more bandwidth, I removed the video.
