Monthly Traffic

A small or medium web site will consume between 1GB and 5GB of data transfer per month.

Calculate the following: average page size * expected page views per month
Example: If your average page size is 30KB and you expect 50,000 page views per month, you will need 0.03MB * 50,000 = 1.5GB.
Larger, commercial sites often consume more than 100GB of monthly traffic.
Before you sign up with a host provider, make sure to check this:

• What are the restrictions on monthly transfer?
• Will the web site be closed if it exceeds the volume?
• Will you be billed a fortune if the web site exceeds the volume?
• Is upgrading a simple task?
