thnx cool site

Huh, funny page, how can one count bandwidth so easily with a calculator with only 3 fields?!?!?!

Bandwidth itself does depends just on the pagesize! And if it do, not all pages have the same size!

Bandwidth depends on your overall site contents + # of visitors. If your web site contruct form maily text, even if you have lots of visitors (maybe 1000 a day), bandwidth won't be a problem for you.

BUT if your site contains either of these materials - picture gallery, macromedia, flash, pdf files, downloadable programs, movies, real media ... bandwidth will be your concern. You will need a site with at least 10 GB if you really have 500-1000 visitors a day. Since for 500 visitors, if each of one download 1MB from your site, it will take up 500MB a day and 30 days = 15 GB!

But to grow from 0 to 500 visitors for a new site take a lot of effort and time! :D

Nice site but don't forget that the images/pictures of a site are in Internet Explorer cache after one visit and reduce the bandwidth very very much :)

I'm working on the average page size on the internet right now.

I have no idea when I'll have the answer. Despite viewing 5,000 pages a day, it seems the to-do pile keeps getting bigger.
