How much bandwidth would an active forum with an average of 120,000-150,000 page views per month would take? Also, would Vbulletin be sufficient to handle such volume of interactivity? Would it most likely bug down server (shared webhosting account)?

Check the stats of one of my sites
Maybe it can help you.

so thats around 14GB/month. how many pageviews you generate per month? is this a forum?

Well, assuming a page is 100KByte approx (code & graphics).

Then bandwidth estimates.
1GB = 100,000 page views approx.
10GB= 1,000,000 page views approx.


You should be able to work out how much bandwidth is required.

No, is a download web site...
So.. I think that you don't need 20 GB for a forum :)
That site have aprox 1000 daily visits
