Bandwidth
How much bandwidth will a text-only site consume and what are the factors that decide the bandwidth? (length of site, text etc)
Thanks guys!

1 character: hosting it on a 14.4 modem
1 MB per page: get ready to go dedicated
There's no way to even guess without knowing how big each page is and how many visitors there are (and how often).Get your web design questions answered: Web Design Forums at http://www.turtletips.com/forums/ ; vBulletin Board of the Month.

Determine the size of each page(in IE it's file,properties) times the views per day and do that for each page.
I have three text only sites and I don't believe I have ever reached .5 gig in a month. More than a thousand daily views with many very small pages.
A 30K text only file written in html is a "humdinger".You'll get fewer complaints from over performing than from over promising.

What I meant by it was that if you coded directly rather than with a drop and drag, a 30K might be several hundred lines of text on the screen.
Some material by its nature you might want to breakup that way, but usually most visitors won't be happy having 15-20 screens of text on one page.You'll get fewer complaints from over performing than from over promising.
