Does anyone know approximately, how hits of standard html pages, could you get in a 300 GB transfer

It's a big number. Dependant upon the size of the pages.

I know, but I need a far fetched approximation

say a page was 10k with no images. Multiply that by 100 thats a meg, multiply that by 100 thats a gig, multiply that by 300 thats 300 gigs. I doubt if you have a static html page you could transfer up to 300 gigs anytime in the next century. Please someone correct my math if its wrong. Im not awake yet.

rough estimate...billions and quadzillions of hits! Im not sure if this is an exact science but if you are worried about this I would simply try it out and test your transfer. You will be suprised that it probably wont even come close to 300 gigs unless you have millions of hits.

Let's say your average page is 50kb. 300GB is roughly 300,000,000kb. 300,000,000kb/50kb = 6,000,000 page views.
