Hi

I am designing a web site in Frontpage with a view to hosting it shortly. I wondered if there is any way of calculating the size of the website and the bandwidth before it goes online, so that I know which package to purchase. My site has about 8 or 9 pages in total which have not all been completed yet but I would like to get it online so that people can give me feedback to some other questions. How do I know whether I need 10, 15 or 25 MB just by looking at it???

I am thinking of hosting it with CWS Hosting, any comments?

If your files are in a folder and you are under windows simply right click on the folder and go to properties. The file size should go up from there. ;-)

Also, the FrontPage extentions will take up a significant chunk of space on the server. And, in most cases, your email is also going to take up your allotted diskspace (though this is not the case in all situations). The host you are looking at should be able to help you figure these numbers in with the sizes of your pages.
