I was just wondering how many hits does 8000MB equal.
Thanks Fro Your Time!

Well, if that is for a single page with graphics that have a total size of 32 kb that is about 256,000 hits. However, there is no way to know the number of hits that would constitute that much data transfer without knowing the size of all the files being transferred. The web server log files should be able to tell you this kind of information.

"How many hits does 8,000 Mb equal?"

Depends on the size of your page(s). If you've got a copy of the page locally, you can tell how much space the text is taking (e.g do a "Properties" in Windows).

Then there's all the other stuff on the page - e.g graphics. You can either work this out manually (i.e find out which graphics are getting loaded and total up their sizes) or there's a neat feature in MS Internet Explorer that allows you to right-click, select "Images List" and it will tell you. I think this is standard with 5.5 and available as an add-in for 5.0 - you should be able to find out from the MS web site.

Some HTML editors will also give you this information as you're editing the page.

Of course, you've probably got more than one page on your site. In this case, you'll have to take a sample and average them, I suppose.

As a *rough* guide, text is probably going to be around 10-20 Kb per page, and graphics are going to add around 10-50 Kb. Web designers sometimes add lots of graphics because they're not the ones paying for the bandwidth to display them <g>

Depends on the size of your sites and the pages/graphics contained with in it. I would venture to say that the average static web page is anywhere between 25-70 kb (inc. graphics). There are 1 mil KBs in a meg and 1,000 megs in a gig.

So, you could get up to 100 hits (on a 70KB pages) for 1 mg. This means you could get 100,000 hits on this page which would use 1 gig. So you grand total is 800,000. This only accounts for static web pages. CGI, PHP, ASP ect.. will take up more bandwidth. Flash and other multimedia components will also take up much more bandwidth. Graphic intensive sites will take up more bandwidth (DUH!).

Ultimately 8000 gig is enough for the majority of web sites out there.

Thanks,
Patrick

correction...

Don't ask where I got 8000 gigs from. ;-) Based on a 70 kb web page you can get about 114,000 hits. I would also like to add that incoming/outgoing email will also count against this.

Too many factors to give an even remotely accurate response.

8000 gigs? Isn't it 8000MB that topic starter asked?

When it pertains to 'unlimited' bandwidth, it doesn't really matter now does it :)

Sean, just look at your log file for the month in question. Count the number of lines (if you have a unix shell just type wc filename) and that number is the number of his hits.

agreed! besides, what's a factor of 1000 between friends? :)
