What is your actual usage?
What is the actual disk space and bandwidth usage of your web site? Please also make a post how much you are paying for the disk space and bandwidth that you are actually using or planning on using, not your allocated disk space or bandwidth
I know an average user barely uses 1gb of disk space and 5gb of bandwidth.

I am using 10mb of space, 20-30mb bandwidth per month. My plan is 750mb space and 20gb bandwidth. I pay $5.99 /mo. for it. I suck at math so I won't try and determine how many pennies I am spending on my small usage.

I voted on behalf of our "average" customer who uses less than your minimums in the poll, even though they sometimes think they will need much more and sometimes pay for more but their actual usage shows they could be on a smaller plan.
Of course like anybody we have customers on the higher end but I'm talking about the overall average if you looked at our total infrastructure usage divided by total # of customers.New Idea Hosting NO Overselling-Business-Grade, Shared Only! New-In House Design Team.

Crissic's site as a whole including the forums support center main site and blog use close to 2GB of space.
From the 100 or so shared clients, on average they don't use more than 500mb of space.

I have an account from dreamhost and 1and1.
Been suspended for "overuse" from 1and1 once.
Never from DH.
I max out my bandwidth/disk on DH often. Not one complaint.semi-retired

Everyone who votes, can you please post how much you are paying for the allocated disk space and bandwidth?
Are you happy with your web host?

i voted for the first choice, as that is my usage now, but my usage of disk space increases anywhere from 5MB-10MB per month, and my bandwidth has the potential to increase monthly as well, though to date i haven't exceeded 7GB in a one month period. i currently pay $4.95 per month on a 2 year prepaid contract. i am beyond unhappy with my current host.

Vote: Less than 5gb of disk space and 100gb of bandwidth.
Pay For: 15gb of disk space and 100gb of bandwidth.
I actually use about 200mb of diskspace and 30-35gb bandwidth (I have a software download site that hosts much of the software (freeware/abandonware) locally.
Am I happy with my host ImageLeet: Yes. Without a doubt
The reason I have a higher package than I use is because I was on a lesser package (Shared - USD $7.99/$9.95) for a round a year with fantastic reliability but, increased it (reseller USD $25.49) purely to show my appreciation of the reliability of the host as I considered them worth more than I was actually paying┣▇▇▇═─√v^√v^√♥

I noticed above that Dreamhost seems liberal on bandwidth, this is also what I've seen in other posts here.
At this time I don't have any account with them, since I ended up having accounts with a couple of hosts and it became a mess.
Instead I got a reseller account with Hostgator. Although I have maybe ten sites on that account I don't use much resources, I think no more than 10 Gigs of b/w per month.

Hello Ali,
This is sort of a trick-question, as a lot of users are running more than one site using more than one account.
So, for my own part it depends on which website you ask about. I have sites that doesn't even use 1 GB of traffic per month, and those that use approx 500 GB per month.
But, I'll go with the last option in your poll

I'm with Crucial Web Host's Split-Shared plan.
I have one active site on there right now, my blog, which uses 11GB~ per month. Pretty much all of that is burnt on the image thumbs that accompany each post.
Going to be launching another site soon which I anticipate doubling that within a few months, so I'd say I sit squarely in option B.
I know I'm allocated a lot more bandwidth than I need, but that's largely because I like the safety net of not hitting overages should I get the digg effect, have a popular download linked to from a lot of sites, etc. I more look for a host that gives me a nice safety net and then examine its dynamic page generation speeds and stability.
