Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : What kind of stats would I need to host a forum?

[greenbirds]

I'm looking to host a forum (probably phpBB, or maybe an open-source CGI forum), and I need to know about how much bandwidth I'd need, the amount of disk space I'd need, etc.. I already know I need cgi and php and mySQL, but the other things I'm not sure. I already have a very busy ezboard, so I know that this forum will be fairly busy too. Any suggestions as the disk space and bandwidth? Thank you in advance,

-Eric

It depends on number of posts and views you get. It also depends on the image sizes and number of images on the baord. I think this board is pushing about 15gigs a month.
