Web Hosting Requirements
Introduction
When choosing a web hosting company, it's crucial to assess your needs for disk space and traffic.
Disk Space
For small to medium websites, 10 to 100MB of disk space is generally sufficient. While HTML pages are typically small?"often under 1KB?"the images used can be several times larger. You can expect each HTML page to consume between 5 and 50KB, depending on the presence of images or other media. Websites rich in graphics, sound files, or videos will require more space. Understand your specific needs before selecting a web host.
Monthly Traffic
A small to medium website usually requires 1 to 5GB of monthly data transfer. Larger commercial sites may exceed 100GB. Before finalizing any contract, confirm the following with your provider:
- What are the limits on monthly data transfer?
- Will the site be shut down if limits are exceeded?
- Will there be additional charges for excess usage?
- Can it accommodate future growth?
- Is upgrading straightforward?
Connection Speed
Ensure that your hosting provider offers a fast connection, especially considering that many users connect via modems. While historically, a T1 line was considered fast, modern speeds far exceed this. Low-speed modems transfer data at 14,000 to 56,000 bits per second, translating to roughly 2,000 to 7,000 characters per second, or 1 to 5 pages of text.
Before committing, investigate the performance of other sites hosted on the provider’s servers. Comparing these sites to your own requirements and contacting their users for feedback can offer valuable insights.
Additional Considerations
Disk space and monthly traffic are vital, but your hosting needs will also hinge on the specific requirements of your website. Planning carefully will ensure that your chosen host can adequately support your site now and in the future.
