How many hits per month does 1 gig of bandwidth convert to?

Depends on the web site.

Say you've got a nice slim site, 1K of text (html) and 3 2K images (7K total).

Well a gig to that site is roughly 150,000 page loads.

Now problem is, people cache images. So lots of folks will hit this site and only load 1K on the next visit.

Now say you've got a site commonly seen on geocities. Java scripts out the yin yang, animated cursors, animated gifs, some SWF here and there, and your monstrosity takes 60K to load. That takes you to 17,500 full page loads per gig.

The only answer is "it depends".

Ditto on the above comment. I help out on one site with 40 meg quicktime movies. It does not take a lot of 40 meg downloads to eat up a gig of bandwidth ;).

I would say:
1 GB = 100.000 hits
2 GB = 200.000 hits
10 GB = 1.000.000 hits
and so on...
This can better be placed in your memory :)

But it depends on many factors, as others have written!

I have 800.000 hits but use 13 GB! Maybe many of my users have set their History settings (for keeping pages in the history) in the Internet Explorer Options to 1 day.

Yea, but..........

Hit: refers to the downloading of a single file
Page load: refers to the downloading of all the data on a page.

So if your page is comprised of tiny files that don't exceed 1-2 k the that's a gazillion hits per gig. :D

thanks alot guys/girls
