what is a good amount of bandwidth to have?

Hard to day; it all depends on what you're doing with your site and the amount of traffic you're getting. You should expect to pay about $1/GB, though

yup entirely depends on your needs. If your site is graphics intense then a good amount of badnwidth is needed, but you see many hosting accounts offering bandwidth in the tens of Gbs, 20Gb 30Gb 40GB, which really is overkill in most cases. Weborum , which is getting around 1000 uniques (less this holiday month) a day, 4000 page views a day and uses around 5Gb a month.

How much bandwidth has your site been using so far?

the site with one graphic? not much. enough to share an account with my brother (www.justinbrown.tk)*. I'm making a new site for a few friends of mine. and I'm trying to find out how much bandwidth to buy. I saw an equation for it somewhere. I'll try to find it.

if you wanna check it out, I suggest that you DON'T use firefox

hehe

then you need to calulate your friend's bandwidth needs. start of with something normal because it's easy to upgrade. Try for 20-30GB , also depends how much you wanna spend.

Click on the link in my signature. There are a couple data transfer "bandwidth" calculators at the bottom the page. They are great tools to figure out how much you will need.

nice tools...
welcome to the forums by the way

man you wont need all that much unless its graphics heavy and u said it isnt most free hosts will give you what you need for bandwidth.

Thanks CBrown
