Just wondering how much bandwidth your average customer uses?

The average customer will use between 100-300MB/bandwidth per month. Of course, this depends what kind of websites you are targeting.

I'd say Marc is right on the money. On average our customers use 200mb I would say.

On average, around 300MB. But then, there aren't many who actually use 300... there are many of them who use around 50 or less, and then a small few of them who use 10GB+

I think it really depends on the client. Some transfer a lot and the max for the acount while others just have a site up which transfers a little.

Wow...when they only use their sites that much, I'm surprised they actually PAY for hosting. I run a site which I considered to be average...and I use about 6GB/month for it. I guess it's a little more busy than the average...

Chaps

Wheres the option for "too much damnit, more profits for us!" :D

I would say around 3/10

Whats so confusing about that? The more bandwidth on average users consume, the smaller hosts profit margins are, simple as that :)

Around 200 meg on avg.

"too much damnit, more profits for us!"

;)

oops (-s)? :confused:

he was saying they use too much...he would like less because it would mean more profit for him.

Hello Everyone,

Well we have resellers taking 250 GB Bandwidth Per month within this they are hosting around 30 sites. So the average goes to 8.33 GB per site :)

Ahh, I got it now, lol. I though he was trying to say that when people use more bandwidth more money for him. :D

Gah, i wish :D. People need to use a LOT over their limits for it to be profitable (for the hassle) and typically when that happens, i feel bad because they didn't know about it or something and give them a break :bawling:.

I niche-market to small personal websites, starters, and homepages. They only NEED about 10 MB storage and far less than one Gig of transfer. I don't host warez or adult or mp3 and such. But everyone thinks his will be the next mega-whopper-whiz-bang website so I have to offer gobs just so they'll be able to compare me to the small-to-medium commercial sites.

So I offer 50 Meg storage (25 copies of Great Expectations) but that's dirt cheap stuff. What I hate is having to offer two or more Gigs of xfer, most of which lays fallow "just in case" their site gets mentioned on Letterman. I absolutely do keep on hand all the commited xfer bandwidth plus a bit of buffer, but that's some expensive stuff -- bandwidth. I DO NOT believe in taking chances and relying on "floating" bandwidth -- robbing Peter to pay Paul. Still, I try to educate my subscribers however, and I let them go over-limit from time to time before we discuss upgrades.

I really don't like smilies but everyone else seems to, so here is my gratuitous smilie array: :rolleyes: :cartman: :blush: :D :( :) The rodeo's in town so I gotta skeedaddle, y'all.

I host several small businesses as part of a design package, and I have some sites that do less than 10mb transfer a month, others that get popular and use a lot. It varies a lot!

James...to go off topic for a sec...your sig: "RackRaffle coming soon"

what is that gonna be?

if your question includes the multiple domains hosted in 1 account and the parked domains. right now my monthly average is about 800 megs.

if we only look at active domains then it shoots up to about 1.3 to 1.5 gigs a months.

if we look at the top 100 accounts then we are looking at 1100 gigs.

there is not anything funny about my accounts, I am unlucky ( lucky) in that sense, that I can not oversell at all.

I was looking at one account. He did 71 gigs last month, ask me to review his log files. some simple fixes and I dropped his usage by 10% ( no optimized images ) -mike
