How to compute your expected bandwidth consumption?

December 29, 2005, 4:08 am

When choosing the right package for your needs, you will have to compute for your monthly bandwidth requirements by checking what kind of files you are going to serve in your site and the estimated number of people going to access it.

For example, if you are serving a podcast with 5MB of mp3 twice a week, then that’s 5MB x 2/week x 4weeks/month for a total of 40MB per visitor downloads. Say you have 30 subscribers and they all download your podcasts for the month so your total consumption would be 1,200MB for the whole month.

Also take into consideration your pageviews and other image files you may also have on your site or blog.
