Trying to get a handle on a number of visitor sessions a day (webtrends stat) that would qualify for a high, med-high, or medium traffic site. Obviously 0 is a low-traffic site.

Much Thanks,

I guess you can relate to traffic in two ways:

1) For example, if your website allows 10gb traffic per month, you use up 6-10gb per month, that would be considered high traffic. 2-6gb Medium Traffic, and 0-2gb Low Traffic.

2) But high traffic can also be considered on a whole. For instance, if you are operating a forum such as this, and receive 50gb traffic per month, that would be considered high traffic. High traffic would involve getting anywhere from a few thousand to a few million hits per month.

I hope that made sense. If not, please ignore .. lol ;)

Thanks.

Mantra,

how can i tell how many gb my website uses per month? Is there a way I can see that without blatantly asking the host? If it's an issue about space and cost per usage of that space then true number of how much space is used per month is vital. Will a host give that up? (dumb question but I don't really know how else to put it) or is there other ways of obtaining that information.

actually, the control panel provided by your web host should provide that information for you. If not, you can certainly ask your host.

I like that word "control panel" I wish I had one. I saw it mentioned on an earlier post.
I even went to my site and tried /cpanel to see if it was there. No luck. Thanks for the help.

Not every host will provide a user account control panel or the same control panel and the best way is to ask your host.

The only I know for sure: nasa or cnn.com have high traffic.

Trying to get a handle on the number of inches (measured with a ruler) that would qualify for a long, medium-long, or medium length of string. Obviously 0" is a short string.

Much Thanks,

Damn, cperciva beat me.

:) that was a good one..

And zero is no string...:D

I was rounding to the nearest inch. ;)

so the answer is: depends on how much of the alloted space is being used. If you're allowed 10 gb and you use 9 gb then that's high traffic. Think I got it. You guys are great. Keep up the good work. s

When it comes to hosting companies, they all have a different scale of measuring "High Traffic" There are some companies who market to the small sites (hompages etc) so for them a site that use 0-500mb of bandwidth is normal and a site using 2 GB of bandwidth might be called a high traffic site by them. Now there are those that market to the mid size traffic sites (?) that a site that use 0-3 GB of bandwidth is normal but a site that start to use 5-10 GB is considered high traffic. Then there are host that market for the high traffic sites (forums) that a site that uses 0-50 GB of bandwidth is normal and then a site using over 60GB may start to be considered a high traffic site. And last host that market to adult sites that a site using 0-50 GB of bandwidth is normal but one using 100+ GB per month may start to be considered a high traffic site.

So i think it all depends on which host you are looking at.

I guess you might need reminding that there is a customer relationship here, and you are the customer and the host is the supplier, asking them directly should not be a problem, there are plenty of hosts out there, if your present one is not giving you the support (control panel etc ) you need then you are able to go elsewhere ....

Customer is king !! :-)

"Customer is king"
I like that although that would be a good debate on this forum.
;)

Thanks for the pep talk. I'm working on the relocation research. Lucklily I've been able to do some of it right here. Have a good day.

High traffic is...too much for your connection to handle

[Ed. Note: There is no useful content here, just comp sci jokes.]

Remember, Zero traffic is not the same as Null traffic: Is it low traffic? Sure, why not. Is it high traffic? Sure, why not.

Hmmm.. Null = Unlimited? :idea:

i have 2 clients that

1 uses 30+ GB

and

1 that use 20+ GB

I wonder how many hits they have and how long their string of 1010101 be...
