Bandwidth/Disk Usage
hey everyone,
Can someone give me some technical specs on about how much disk space and bandwidth a typical small business ecommerce site uses up? I was just wondering so that i can allocate my resources accordingly. Also, how much bandwidth/diskspace would an average website need? Thank you all in advanced for your help.

Honestly? Let's say they get 5 orders a day (250 visitors a day), and no demo videos on the site, you're probably looking at about 50 MB of disk or so, most of which would be for logs and email, and about 1 GB for transfer.

Wow that's all? I thought it would be at least 5x the amount of transfer.

The average ecommerce oriented site (at least on our servers) uses about 50MB and less than 1GB of traffic per month.
But, if you plan on getting a ton of visitors, make sure the plan you choose allows for growth. When planning for traffic on an sales oriented site, assume the worst, but plan for the best.
