These
are the most important two factors that determine the cost of a particular
web hosting scheme.
Disk Space & web
hosting.
MBs to GBs and
then to TBs disk capacities are increasing in volume and the cost of the
storage space is plunging all the time. For web hosting few 100 html pages you don’t
need GBs and TBs. Hence do not be overly concerned about the disk space
during the selection of a web hosting company. Most
of the web hosts are now offering a lot of disk capacity on all schemes. Make
sure what they are offering will be sufficient for you; it will be most
likely. For example 100 MB space
can easily host thousands of your pages and hundreds of pictures. What is
being offered by many web hosting companies now exceed 1000MB (1GB) and such
capacities come cheap.
Bandwidth in web hosting.
Also, about the bandwidth,
if you don’t host MP3 downloads and Video downloads, you are not going to be
faced with a lot of bandwidth need even if your site is being frequented by
1000s of visitors a day.
Bandwidth offered varies
widely and most good hosts give you an indication of the bandwidth usage in
their control panel that will be provided to you. Hence consulting this
statistic once
in a while would be sufficient. 10 to 15 GB bandwidth for a month may be
sufficient for a site which receives about 1000 visitors a day. this is an
estimation, please do not take it literally.
Unlimited
bandwidth
There are
many web hosting facilities which provide unlimited bandwidth. Such a hosting provides good
protection against exceeding bandwidth situations. We believe they might
have a condition where you exceed the capacity
to such an extent that their servers get to
breaking point, they might ask you to stay away or pay more. That is but an
extraordinary circumstance.
