Bandwidth Advice Required
 

I'm going to have to move my website from its current home on NTL's servers as I'm moving and NTL Broadband will not be available where I'm going. Rather than set the site up on another ISP's server I'd rather purchase a hosting package but I'm not sure about bandwidth etc. Currently the site gets around 250 hits a week though I'm looking to increase this.

What sort of bandwidth requirement will I need etc?

Thanks in advance

Website is in sig!

The sites "hits" does not really tell you much as each hit could be 5k or 500k depending on the site. However looking at your site it doesn't seem to use much. I just went through a few of the pages and clocked up about 50k.

If by 250 hits you mean 250 visitors per week and you assume each visitor used a massive 100k then that is 100k x 250 x 4.345 = 106MB per month. Given that ISP's generally measure your bandwidth in GigiBytes rather than MegaBytes then you have little to worry about. :)

Doing some advertising for those that support this site, try www.i-websolutions.co.uk their £10 a year package will suit your needs and you can upgrade the bandwidth as and when.

SMHarman at least give Emporerdalek the cheaper i-web link for cable forum members

I currently have 3 sites hosted by iweb and have had no problems at all :D

Thanks for all the info people. iweb is certainly the cheapest option i've had proposed up to now.
