Home : Advice : Bandwidth and Disk Space

When choosing a web host it is important to know how much bandwidth and disk space you will need. Disk space is the amount of files/data stored on your hosting account. The larger your site the more disk space you will require. Bandwidth is the amount of data that is transmitted when people visit your site in a month or year. The more people visit your site the more bandwidth you will need. Bandwidth and disk space are most often measured in Megabytes or Gigabytes.

1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1,024 Megabyte (MB)

I recommend starting off with less bandwidth and space. You can always upgrade your hosting plan as you need more.

Another important thing to look for when choosing your host is to check their network speed. Your web host provider should have a fast connection to the Internet.
